With only two players remaining from the first lineup, Chelsea could field an almost entirely different XI if they sign some of the players being linked with them this summer. Asmir Begovic would be a great signing to replace Petr Cech as second-choice goalkeeper, while Raphael Varane could add some real depth at the back and eventually he and Kurt Zouma would look to replace John Terry and Gary Cahill.
Elsewhere, Gianelli Imbula is another young talent being eyed up who could be a better backup option than John Obi Mikel, while Antoine Griezmann is another world class talent who could give Chelsea one of the best attacks in Europe and challenge players like Hazard and Willian for their place.
Finally, Falcao joins up front on loan for the season and should be a good enough backup option to ensure the club don’t miss Costa too much if he’s injured.
