A look at a potential Chelsea XI for the new season if Jose Mourinho signs his three main targets towards the end of this summer’s transfer window…
GK: Thibaut Courtois
Still number one for Chelsea, new signing Asmir Begovic seems unlikely to displace the immensely talented Thibaut Courtois anytime soon.
DR: Branislav Ivanovic
A top class right-back, Branislav Ivanovic is sure to remain a key player for Chelsea this season and will be important for their title challenge.
DL: Baba Rahman
An exciting young left-back, Baba Rahman is being stronly tipped to move to Chelsea in a £17.5m deal from Bundesliga side Augsburg, and the Ghana international could replace Cesar Azpilicueta in this position.

DC: John Stones
A top class young player, Everton’s John Stones has been linked with a £30m move to Stamford Bridge this summer and could quickly become first choice alongside Terry.
MC: Nemanja Matic
One of the best defensive midfielders in the world, Nemanja Matic keeps his place in this central role.
MC: Koke
Linked with a £46m move from Atletico Madrid, Koke could be an upgrade on Cesc Fabregas alongside Matic, with the former Arsenal man struggling in the second half of last season.
AMR: Willian
Brazilian winger Willian is sure to keep his place out wide, with Juan Cuadrado still out of favour with Jose Mourinho.
AML: Eden Hazard
Chelsea’s best player, Eden Hazard keeps his place on the left and remains a key part of an unchanged attack.
AMC: Oscar
In the number ten role, Oscar keeps his place in the Chelsea team despite links to Juventus this summer.
FC: Diego Costa
Sure to start when fit, Diego Costa leads the line for Chelsea, with Radamel Falcao and Loic Remy in reserve.
