Recent reports have suggested that Chelsea have grown frustrated with their current centre-back pairing of John Terry and Gary Cahill, and are looking at Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane to solve their problems.

Chelsea transfer news
According to the Daily Mirror, Jose Mourinho is a known admirer of the 21-year-old, but after the Frenchman’s uninspiring performance against Schalke in mid-week, we think the Blues would do better to look elsewhere.
Here are the top ten candidates we’ve come up with:
10) Kamil Glik (Torino)
Still only 27, a Polish international, and a player who has performed extremely well so far this season.
9) Aymeric Laporte (Athletic Bilbao)
Younger and cheaper than Varane, and as a result would carry a lot less expectation on his shoulders.
