The biggest name on the list, Antoine Griezmann announced a few days back through a video on social media that he would be leaving Atletico Madrid at the end of the season. The 28-year-old has been leading the Atletico attack consistently over the years.

A proven goalscorer and a chance creator, Griezmann is pacy, technically brilliant and has a fitness level which is worth envying. The world cup winner with France has missed just 1 competitive game in his career through injury.

Griezmann can play as a false-9, a centre-forward or on the flanks which makes it difficult for the opposition to track him during the game as he can switch positions to suit the gameplay of the team. He has 21 goals and 10 assists for Atletico this season and his goalscoring abilities will be a huge boost for Chelsea as they have often been misfiring in front of the net which has affected their results.

A player of Griezmann's abilities will not come cheap and Atletico is holding out his entire release clause of £108 million to facilitate the transfer. Chelsea will have to break the bank to get his signature but the amount is totally worth it for one of the most complete players in the game.
