Potential Chelsea XI: 2013/14

Europa League Final - SL Benfica v Chelsea FC

CM: Ramires Santos do Nascimento

I would say the kind of speed and agility Ramires possesses, combined with the tactical formation and the surrounding players, gives him a certainty of a spot in the team next season after providing seven goals and eight assists in all competitions, including the Europa League which CFC won.

LW: Eden Hazard

This young Belgian, at the age of only 22, has won the hearts and praises of many. He is aiming to batter 50+ goals in the coming season just like Messi and Ronaldo, and he certainly has the requisite combination of skills, passion and experience to help Chelsea retain the CL trophy they won under the reign of Di Matteo. He deserves this spot on the left wing.

RW: Hulk

Hulk has been chosen for this spot due to the reports suggesting he is ready to sign for CFC for 35 million pounds. Having already being linked to Chelsea so many times in the past 2-3 seasons, this time he will be looking forward to join Mourinho at Chelsea. His speed, shooting power, versatility, strength and other factors can help Chelsea immensely. André Schürrle can also fit in at this spot, but Hulk remains top choice.

CAM: Wesley Sneijder

Juan Mata has not been given this position as Mourinho is thinking of letting him go to another club. And at this point in time, Kevin De Bruyne’s future is uncertain as he might end up playing for Leverkusen on loan as part of the André Schürrle deal. Then, Oscar Dos Santos is obviously there to help the West Londoners but with Sneijder hinting at a reunion with the former Inter manager, he has been chosen in the starting XI ahead of Oscar.

ST: Edinson Cavani

Chelsea need to boost their attack and Cavani is the right man they need to pursue after Radamel Falcao ditched them and several other top European clubs to sign for AS Monaco. Reports have also emerged that Mourinho is preparing a high profile bid for the former Internazionale star, but current reports about Cavani coming to West London are far more popular and more reputable. Also, in this deal CFC could bid farewell to Torres who might move to Napoli for the deal to blossom.
