How Chelsea could line up in 2021-22

#9 Mason Mount, Left Attacking Midfield

Chelsea v Leicester City - Premier League

Mason Mount has been celebrated by all those at Chelsea as the club's main man for his remarkable ability and big game mentality. The Chelsea youth product has grown beyond the label of Frank Lampard's protégé and made himself indispensable to both club and country.

Slotting in a half-space between midfield and attack on the left, his tactical role as a shuttler focuses on progressing the ball into the final third. The expectation of him in the coming season would be to add to his goalscoring ability.

#10 Kai Havertz, Right Attacking Midfield

Manchester City v Chelsea FC - UEFA Champions League Final

The talented and quick-footed German international was signed with high expectations as Chelsea's most expensive player.

Having struggled at first, Havertz's immense natural talent shone through in the latter part of the season as he scored the Champions League-winning goal.

Performing best as a deep-lying striker linking up play, the playmaker should find himself more comfortable operating as an inside forward to bring out his link-up ability and dribbling ability.

#11 Erling Haaland, Striker

Borussia Dortmund v Bayer 04 Leverkusen - Bundesliga

Chelsea's pursuit of Erling Haaland has become the talk of the summer transfer window. With Timo Werner's lack of confidence in front of goal, despite his blistering pace stretching defences, Chelsea are desperate for a centre forward.

An explosive combination of strength, speed and technical brilliance, Haaland has all the tools to be a complete forward and one of football's global superstars.

The striker's shirt at Chelsea has been a heavy burden for some great players such as Fernando Torres and Andriy Shevchenko. But a man of Haaland's appetite and mentality should fit into the winning machine Roman Abramovic has transformed Chelsea into since his involvement in 2003.
