Nicolas Pepe makes it to the list as the second Ivorian in the fray. The 23-year-old has had a breakthrough season in France with him scoring 23 goals and assisting 12 more across all competitions for Lille this season.

A left-footed player, Pepe is a very fast player with great dribbling abilities. He is known for his great vision and ability to find teammates. He can dribble well in short spaces and get positive results out of that, making him a constant menace for the opposition.

With his brilliant qualities, he is just the kind of winger Chelsea need right now. He can combine well with strikers and move into scoring positions or create chances for them. He's reminiscent of Arjen Robben due to his tendencies to cut inside from the right wing. And we do know, how it all turned out to be when Chelsea last signed a player from LOSC Lille. Chelsea fans can be hoping for something similar to happen if this deal does go through.
