5 wingers Chelsea should target as replacements for Pedro

Leicester City v Chelsea - The Emirates FA Cup Quarter Final
Pedro's form has been patchy and he will need to be replaced

#1 Anthony Martial (Manchester United)

AFC Bournemouth v Manchester United - Premier League
This would be a reverse-Matic move and could make Chelsea better

This is one of the more interesting transfer stories concerning Chelsea. The 22-year-old has not been a favourite of Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho in the two seasons the Portuguese has been there and there are strong indications that the Frenchman's time at Old Trafford is up.

Up until Alexis Sanchez joined the Red Devils in January, the French international had been in and out of the squad and had been having a decent enough season but stories about Mourinho being exasperated with the winger's attitude and perceived laziness have continued to go around.

Chelsea’s attack has been often slow and undynamic this season depending solely on Hazard and Willian for pace and width.

Martial's explosive pace and dribbling could come in handy and help the attack do better and given his proven Premier League status, he ticks all the right boxes for the Blues.

A frontline of Morata, Hazard (if he stays) and Martial will be a handful for any Premier League team and whether Conte stays on as the manager or not, whoever is in the dugout will have a fantastic attacking line-up to work with.

The French international has been repeatedly linked to Chelsea in recent days and for a deal to happen, a figure of £60m has been quoted.
