Chelsea Transfers: 5 right-back upgrades Chelsea might target in the summer

#2 Álvaro Odriozola (Real Sociedad)

The Spaniard would be perfect for Chelsea's system

Regular watchers of La Liga will have seen why time and again the big clubs have been linked to the 22-year-old Real Sociedad right-back. The Spaniard is one of the most talented young players in a league filled with young talents and ever since he was called up by L Furia Roja last year, his performances have only gotten better.

Blessed with blistering speed and a superb crossing ability, he has been one of the most dangerous fullbacks in the league and would fit in perfectly in either a conventional 4-man defense or in a wingback system where fullbacks are regarded as key to both attacking and defensive moves.

Right-back has been a difficult-to-fill position for Chelsea for a while now since the exit of Jose Bosingwa and since the manager; Conte decided to switch Azpilicueta to a right center-back position (a role he has interpreted with distinction)

Odriozola has had a barnstorming season for La Real and has been one of the team's standout performers in what has been a topsy-turvy season for the Basque club.

Said to have a release clause of €40m, meeting it will not be a problem for the Blues and given his age and ability, it could be the perfect signing for the Stamford Bridge giants.
