Chelsea want three more signings to build world-beating team.
A look at how Chelsea could line up in 2015/16 if they sign their top three targets before the end of the summer, with £76m’s worth of players reportedly lined up by the Blues…
GK: Thibaut Courtois
Made number one for Chelsea last season, Thibaut Courtois will certainly continue in that role for 2015/16, with Asmir Begovic joining as his backup.
DR: Branislav Ivanovic
An excellent right-back in no need of replacing, Branislav Ivanovic will remain first choice in defence for the new season.

DL: Baba Rahman
With Jose Mourinho admitting he wants to sign a left-back, it could be that exciting youngster Baba Rahman will come in for around £20m to replace Cesar Azpilicueta.
DC: John Terry
Still one of the best defenders in the world, John Terry played every single minute of last season’s Premier League title-winning campaign and should be a regular again.
DC: John Stones
A terrific youngster valued at around £34m, John Stones has become one of the Blues’ priority targets from Everton and could challenge Gary Cahill for a place in the centre.
MC: Nemanja Matic
One of the best midfielders in the Premier League, Nemanja Matic has been superb since joining Chelsea and will surely continue as first choice.
MC: Cesc Fabregas
Forming a fine partnership with Matic, Cesc Fabregas is set for a key role at Stamford Bridge again next season.
AMR: Pedro
Targeted in a £22m move from Barcelona, Pedro could be on his way to Chelsea this summer despite interest from Manchester United, and he’d be a big upgrade on Willian and Juan Cuadrado.
AML: Eden Hazard
Last season’s player of the year, Eden Hazard is a world class name who should only continue to get better in this excellent Chelsea attack.
AMC: Oscar
Just behind the main striker, Oscar has been linked with an exit this summer but looks set to remain an important part of Mourinho’s plans.
FC: Diego Costa
A world class striker, Diego Costa enjoyed a prolific first season with Chelsea and will surely keep his place up front ahead of Radamel Falcao next season.
