How Chelsea look set to line up after the transfer deadline.
With growing speculation that Chelsea are working on three more signings for an incredible £130m in total, here’s a look at how Jose Mourinho’s best XI should look after the summer transfer deadline…
GK: Thibaut Courtois
Chelsea’s established number one after the departure of Petr Cech, Thibaut Courtois is a world class first choice in goal for the Blues.
DR: Cesar Azpilicueta
Moving to right-back after some poor form from Branislav Ivanovic, Cesar Azpilicueta is a solid option in this position.
DL: Baba Rahman
Joining from Augsburg this week, Ghanian starlet Baba Rahman is now expected to become first choice at left-back.

Chelsea transfer rumours
DC: John Terry
Despite being subbed off against Manchester City last week, John Terry should remain first choice at centre-back for Chelsea.
DC: John Stones
Coming in to partner Terry and to eventually replace him, Everton youngster John Stones is a £40m target who is looking ever more likely to join.
MC: Nemanja Matic
One of the best defensive midfielders in the world, Nemanja Matic keeps his place in the centre after some superb form last season.
MC: Paul Pogba
Coming in alongside Matic is £69m midfielder Paul Pogba, who looks to be on the verge of a move to Stamford Bridge after the club agreed a fee with Juventus.
AMR: Pedro
Joining from Barcelona this week, Chelsea’s new winger Pedro should become first choice on the right-hand side of the attacking midfield three.
AML: Eden Hazard
On the left as usual is the world class Eden Hazard, whose form should improve with so much increased quality around him.
AMC: Cesc Fabregas
Moving to a more advanced role, Cesc Fabregas could now operate in the number ten spot as Oscar may join Juventus as part of the Pogba deal.
FC: Alexandre Lacazette
With Diego Costa, Radamel Falcao and Loic Remy unconvincing, Chelsea have been linked with a £21m move to sign Lyon sensation Alexandre Lacazette, who’d be an excellent addition up front.
