Here Are The 5 Big Name Signings Chelsea Could Make In The Upcoming Transfer Window

As the 2021/22 football season is gradually winding down, clubs would be turning their attention to transfer target to bolster their squad ahead of the 2022/23 football season.

Chelsea are beginning a new era, as they are set to have a new owner, and would be hoping for a heavy transfer market involvement in the upcoming transfer window, with the new owners likely to make a good first impression to maintain the club’s status as a club who want to challenge for all trophies.

The Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is likely to be backed by the new club owners this summer to revamp the squad, which could make the summer transfer window a very busy one for Chelsea.

According to reports, the Chelsea manager would be hoping to make transfers in all aspects of the team, especially in the midfield and defensive areas, Ngolo Kante and Jorginho are gradually reaching the end of their careers, and their perfomances on the pitch are also on the decline.

In the defense, Andreas Christensen has reportedly agreed a deal to join Barcelona on a free transfer at the end of this season, while the future of Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger is still uncertain at the club beyond the end of this season, which means Chelsea would also have to invest heavily on their defense.

In this article, we will be writing on the five big name signings Thomas Tuchel could look to make with the heavy transfer amount that would be made available for him to spend in the summer.

Jules Kounde

Jules Kounde has been in the Chelsea radar since last summer, he was seriously linked with a move to Chelsea, but the deal failed to go through, due to both Sevilla and Chelsea inability to agree on the transfer price of the player, as Sevilla was asking for more than what Chelsea could pay for him.

After the failed transfer last summer, Chelsea are expected to revive their interest in the 23 years old french international defender, as they look to be short in that department, with Christensen leaving the club at the end of this season, and either Cesar Azpilicueta and Rudiger still likely to leave at the end of this season.

2. Aurelien Tchouameni

With several midfielders likely to leave Chelsea at the end of this season, Thomas Tuchel is reported to be eager to strengthen his midfield option in the summer, and has identified Monaco’s central midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni as a good option to sign in the transfer market.

Aurelien Tchouameni has been in top form for Monaco this season, and has attracted interest from top clubs such as Real Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Reports claims that the Chelsea scouts has spend more time watching the 22 years old midfielder, and could prepare a big bid for the midfielder in the upcoming transfer window.

3. Christopher Nkunku

RB Leipzig attacker is another player that Chelsea are reportedly interested to sign next summer, as he continues to impress with his perfomances over the past few seasons for Leipzig.

In the current season, Nkunku had made 50 goals contribution for Leipzig in 47 appearances across all competitions, scoring 30 goals and providing 20 assists.

He is very versatile, and can play anywhere across all attacking positions in a team.

4. Declan Rice

Rice has been linked with a return to Chelsea for several seasons, as he spent little time with the Chelsea academy before he was released by the club.

The West Ham midfielder has established himself as one of the best player in his position in the Premier League, and has reportedly rejected a new contract proposal from West Ham for a third time, so as to try push a move away from the club.

Although, Chelsea might be push out of the race to sign him, due to the transfer fee that is been quoted by West Ham, which is reported to be close to £100 million.

5. Joao Felix

Recent reports has claimed that Chelsea could be interesting in signing Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix this summer, as Romelu Lukaku has been constantly linked with a move away from the club at the end of this season.

Chelsea could decide to replace Romelu Lukaku with Joao Felix, who is still young and have a lot of potentials to become a great player in future.
