5 players who could join Chelsea before transfer deadline day

#4 Anthony Martial (Manchester United)

Martial is looking for a way out of Old Trafford

It’s all gone a little quiet in the last couple of weeks in terms of Martial, but his desire to leave United is certainly still there. He has fallen out of favour under Jose Mourinho in the Portuguese manager’s time there, and that almost certainly played a part in Martial missing out on a place in France’s World Cup squad this summer.

One area in particular Cheslea look a little weak is up front, with Alvaro Morata looking way off the pace in pre-season. The Spaniard also struggled for goals in the second half of last season, netting just once after the turn of the year. Martial has been deployed more as a left winger at Old Trafford, but with his pace and finishing he has all the attributes to play down the middle. The problem for Chelsea may be that United won’t want to sell to another English side, even though the Blues first expressed an interest a couple of weeks ago.
