3 players who could replace N'golo Kante at Chelsea

#1 Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

Milinkovic-Savic has been linked to Real, but Chelsea could yet swoop.

One of the hottest topics of discussion going into this World Cup has been, the future of Lazio's midfield star Milinkovic-Savic.

The Serb stands at a staggering 6 feet 3 inches and is a member of a new breed of midfielders who can dominate in the air, whilst gliding across the pitch with grace and impeccable ball control. His aggressive nature and confidence in possession leave little room to doubt his ability to successfully fulfill any positional requirements his manager asks of him.

The 22-year-old possesses the brute strength to ensure he is not easily pushed off the ball, but he is more than just a work-horse as he has incredible vision and passing range, which would see him settle into the Premier League with relative ease.

Although the midfielder is believed to be content at Lazio, with Real Madrid also interested, Chelsea should pursue the Serb as a genuine transfer target. Equally capable in defense and offense, Sergej is the perfect prototype of a midfielder, and would undoubtedly be a huge hit at the Bridge.
