2) Axel Witsel (Zenit Saint Petersburg)
A player The Sun say will cost around £24m, Zenit Saint Petersburg star Axel Witsel is another Belgian on Chelsea’s radar this summer and may be a more ambitious target. A tall and strong player who can operate comfortably in a defensive or attacking role, Witsel certainly looks like having all the attributes needed to succeed in English football. Whether or not he would be content to play as a backup at Stamford Bridge remains to be seen, but he’d certainly be a good option for the Blues to have at their disposal, even if £24m is a lot to pay for a player not intended to be first choice.
