How Chelsea could line up if they sign all their transfer targets in January

Left-winger- Mason Mount

Mason Mount is a through-and-through Chelsea boy and he has proved it every day since being promoted to the first-team in 2019.

The Englishman presses from the front and gives his 110% with and without the ball. His ability to shoot from long range and take accurate set-pieces also make him an undroppable player.

It is no surprise that the West London club have lost most games during his absence this season. In fact, no Chelsea player has been involved in more goals in the Premier League this season than the 23-year-old. He has scored seven goals and provided six assists.

Mount is a future Chelsea captain and is likely to have a spot in the starting line-up for several years to come.

Right-winger- Ousmane Dembele

It has been a while since Ousmane Dembele proved why he is one of the most expensive Barcelona players ever (€105 million). The winger came in with a lot of hype from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 but is yet to prove his potential and price tag. However, he has less than six months left on his current contract and is yet to sign an extension.

Chelsea are keeping tabs on his situation and could opt to sign him for a cut-price fee in January if the Spanish club are prepared to let him go. The Blues do have sufficient attacking talent but signing another world-class star would not hurt.

Moreover, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, and Callum Hudson-Odoi have failed to nail down a spot in the starting XI.

Dembele is fast, technically talented, and quick on his feet. He is two-footed and can assist the centre-forward and also chip in with multiple goals when needed.

The 24-year-old still has quite a lot of years ahead of him and the Blues could use his services to efficiently compete on all fronts.

Striker- Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku may have burnt bridges with his controversial interview a month ago but he remains Chelsea's most viable strike option. The club-record signing with €115 million has only five league goals in 16 appearances.

But he could prove vital in the second half of the campaign. He can lead the frontline and also change games on his day once he finds his feet again.

The big Belgian is sure to come good at some point and Tuchel will be hoping it happens as soon as possible.
