Chelsea Transfers: Three Signings That Mourinho Should Go For Including This Real Madrid Star

Chelsea’s January transfer window was nothing short of a proactive spending spree. Jose Mourinho bought the likes of Kurt Zouma alongside Mohammed Salah in his already impressive squad but had to part ways with Kevin De Bruyne, Mikel Essien and the most significant of all, Juan Mata to Manchester United amongst all others.

Chelsea’s squad as of late looks to have no chinks in their armoury, running like a well oiled machine, gunning for the title but whether Mourinho’s second homecoming sweetens is for all to see. Come this summer in May, they might need some reinforcements, so we here at Soccersouls decided to present you three signings that the Blues from London might be interested in come next summer.

Fabio Coentrao (Real Madrid):

If we are to critically judge Ashley Cole’s performance over the last two seasons, it has been nothing short of a disappointment. The English international is well past his sell by date and his age is taking the toll out of him. With Ryan Bertrand on loan to Aston Villas and looking to gain more experience with time, Mourinho might feel he would raid his former club Real Madrid for Portuguese left back Fabio Coentrao. Coentrao doesn’t seem to fit well in Carlo Ancelotti’s scheme of things and post the World Cup, he might be on the lookout for a new clubs where he can get more game time rather than warming the sidelines and play second fiddle to the always exuberant Brazilian Marcelo.

Domenico Criscito (Zenit St Petersburg):

Keeping our minds firmly on the left backs issue, Chelsea could also look to someone like Dominic Criscito, who can enhance their defensive capabilities and bolster their flanks at the same time. Criscito has previously played in Serie A with Genoa and Juventus and is currently plying his trade in Russia with Zenit St Petersburg, though a move out from Russia seems likely. Mourinho is always shrewd with his transfer dealings and Criscito looks to be an efficient solution if the Blues are looking forward to someone who is equally adept at going forward, deliver crosses from the flanks and is always assured on the ball and has the eye for the pass.

Stefan Kießling ( Bayer Leverkusen):

The 6’3 tall and lanky Bayern Leverkusen striker is a defender’s nightmare. The 29-year old has already developed an impression in native Germany about his imposing presence in the box and the striker he can be when in full song. Although he may not be the one that Chelsea fans would expect, he has got, what it takes to be a second choice striker if the Blues are going all out to buy the likes of Falcao or Cavani and if not, Kießling can be a decent upgrade to Demba Ba or even Eto’o.

Kießling has scored tons in the Bundesliga for Bayer Leverkusen and is an integral part of Sami Hyppia’s impressive outfit who are absolutely sublime at the Bay Arena. Not only he can change any game by the scruff of the neck, he is very creative and with his ball holding skills can bring others into play as well, something which suits Chelsea’s impressive build up play. Certainly a beast but is Mourinho listening to solve his striking dilemma of Torres, Eto’o and Demba Ba?
