5 replacements for Gary Cahill at Chelsea

#1 Jose Gimenez

Gimenez could be available on a free transfer in the summer

Jose Gimenez made his debut for Atletico Madrid in 2013 having joined the team when he moved to Spain when he was just 18 years old. Since then the Uruguayan defender has been a regular in the first team, going on to make 113 appearances for the club.

However, Gimenez has struggled to become a regular in the starting lineup in the past year with competition from Stefan Savic and Lucas Hernandez. Atletico had received offers for Gimenez in the past two transfer windows but he has stayed put at the club.

Gimenez is a towering defender who is not afraid of making challenges and is brilliant in the air too. If he doesn't sign a new contract at Atletico, then Chelsea could make him a priority. He is only 23 and has many more years before he hits his peak.
