5 players Chelsea can target this January

Antonio Conte could still use some reinforcements

#3 Geoffrey Kondogbia

The beast in the middle

While the midfield pivot of N’Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic seems to be getting Chelsea results, you can't help but imagine how much more successful the system will be with someone who could equally contribute defensively and pass the ball from any sort of angle.

Conte was always interested in signing Radja Naingollan and Stefano Sturaro for that very purpose but having lost out on signing them, he ought to look into the next big thing: and 'big thing’ is apt when describing Geoffrey Kondogbia.

The 23-year-old Frenchman hasn't been a hit with Inter Milan but has all the right ingredients to succeed with a top-level European team. He's great with the ball at his feet able to dribble out of tight situations and has the kind of vision to find a pass far up ahead.

If Cesc Fabregas was younger, fitter, taller, defended more and born in France, he'd be called Geoffrey Kondogbia.
