Chelsea’s January transfer window: The 5 players that could secure the Blues the title

Andrea Ranocchia – Inter Milan

The Italian centre-back has been linked to Chelsea recently by the Daily Mirror.

Ranocchia is a tall, strong, old-fashioned centre-half, and his characteristics suit the kind of defender Mourinho traditionally favours, unlike David Luiz. The Italian has been excellent this season, and could be a long-term replacement for 33-year-old John Terry.

Ranocchia, 25, is brilliant in the air, but is an equally strong tackler.
