3) Toby Alderweireld (Atletico Madrid)
Finally, the Star also states that Chelsea will try their luck with a swap deal for Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld, who impressed in the Premier League this season with a loan spell at Southampton. The Belgian international helped the Saints to a strong finish of 7th place in the table, and also to the second best defensive record in the division as the club conceded only 33 times in 38 games – a record bettered only by Chelsea themselves. It is said that Filipe Luis would move in the other direction, with the Brazilian left-back failing to make an impression in his single season in West London after joining from Atletico last year. Given the fine form of Cesar Azpilicueta in that role, it perhaps makes sense for Mourinho to pursue a central defender instead, with John Terry surely unable to play so many games again next season at the age of 34.
