Forget The Legend: Here Are 3 Perfect Replacements Chelsea Should Look To Sign

Chelsea have made a brilliant start to the campaign and are currently unbeaten after four matches. Antonio Conte has brought back the solidity and fluidity that was missing from the Blues’ play last season. Hazard seems to back at his best after a superb performance in this year’s European Championship and Costa is currently leading the Golden Boot race with four goals in as many matches. The defence has firmly strengthened with the arrival of David Luiz and Marcos Alonso. Though Chelsea only managed a draw in their last match against Swansea, the performance was very good from the back to the front. However, one piece of bad news that came Chelsea’s way was the injury suffered by John Terry.

Chelsea captain Terry will be out for 10 days after straining ligaments in his foot, therefore he will miss the Friday night match against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. The defender was thought to be on his way out of the club before Conte came in and decided to offer the veteran a contract extension. It is widely believed that this might be Terry’s last season with his contract expiring at the end of the season. The former English international has been a very dedicated servant to the club. It is vital that Conte during the course of this season decides on a possible replacement for Terry.

Here are the 3 possible replacements that Conte can look towards.

Marquinhos

Diego Godin

Michael Keane

Not a popular name on the list but Keane will be a perfect player to be understudy someone like Luiz and Cahill. A former Manchester United player, Keane is currently playing at Burnley, where he moved permanently in 2014. He will also add a home-grown player to Chelsea squad, something that is very valuable in today’s day and age.
