Wilfried Zaha

If there is going to be a forward that Chelsea are going to bring in during the winter’s transfer window, it is going to be none other than Wilfried Zaha. The Crystal Palace winger seemed to be desperate to move away from the Selhurst Park in the summer and even sacked his agent for failing to strike a deal with a different team.

Zaha has been playing well and displaying a professional conduct with Roy Hodgson’s side, but he is still looking to move to greener pastures. His current agent is close to Roman Abramovich and it may be a big factor in a likely deal. Zaha will cost the Blues around 65 to 70 million pounds if they decide to sign him this month.

Philippe Coutinho

Philippe Coutinho is currently on loan with Bayern Munich and has absolutely killed it on his spell in Bavaria. By every passing match, it looks unlikely that the Brazil international will return to the Camp Nou. The Bundesliga giants have an option of buying him this summer for 120 million euros this summer, but Chelsea may offer more money and try signing Coutinho.

The former Inter Milan winger is capable of scoring goals from far out while he is also sublime and composed on the ball. That being said, Coutinho is experienced with playing in the Premier League following his tenure with Liverpool, so the Stamford Bridge may be in for a treat if the Barcelona man is brought in during the summer’s transfer window.
