Eliaquim Mangala (FC Porto)
Another Frenchman, although this time a centre back, but again Chelsea may have to break the bank in order to land the in-demand 22-year-old in January.
And that is because the highly rated central defender is perhaps at present the most sought-after player in his position on the Continent, with the likes of fellow Premier League giants Manchester United and Manchester City both known to also be desperate to land the France international next year.
However, Mangala’s reported buyout clause is estimated at £37m, although it is thought that the Portuguese champions would be willing to listen to offers upwards of £25m for their star man in January.
