Chelsea have acted early in the transfer season and have already lured two quality players for key positions.
With the departure of veteran and legendary midfielder Frank Lampard, Chelsea needed a top central midfielder, one who can prove fruitful in attack as well.
In came former Arsenal man Cesc Fabregas as the perfect replacement for the England international and with him and Matic in midfield, Chelsea can be brilliant next season.
More importantly, the Blues have missed a prolific striker for years. Didier Drogba was the last player to score over 20 league goals for Chelsea in a season and that happened way back in 2010.
Since then, Blues never gave real chance to Sturridge, signed Torres, Ba and Eto’o but all of them disappointed big time especially the former Liverpool star.
Now that Blues have also solved that dilemma by signing one of the best strikers at the moment in Diego Costa, Chelsea supporters will be hoping that the Spaniard will not be another big money flop like Torres and Shevchenko.
However, surely Chelsea are not yet done as far as new signings are concerned. The question is, who will be Mourinho’s new signing for the club?
The playmaking department does not really need much reinforcement with the likes of Hazard, Willian, Oscar, Schurrle, Salah around.
For central defense, Chelsea are keeping captain Terry for another year and should keep Kurt Zouma, although reports do suggest he might be loaned.
Azpilicueta has been one of the most consistent left backs in the premier league last season despite him being a natural right back. Will Mourinho use him on the left again?
Nevertheless, with the departure of Ashley Cole, the next priority signing should that be of a fullback. Someone like Felipe Luis should be a perfect addition but for now, there are no concrete reports.

No one is talking about Mikel Obi.He is young and brilliant.
Mikel said he is happy at chelsea, and chelsea does not want to sell him anywhere, dont you understand? Am tired of fabregas matic pairing what about a proven anchorman who shone brilliantly at the worldcup?
mou should sign d following 2 strengthen d blue. D players are Mangala, Marcos Rojo, Pogba, Kroos & Mandzukic. I’m sure with acquisition of these players mentioned, Chelsea would have a “KILLER SQUAD”.
At the moment i think chelsea jus need the service of Fillipe Luis and Pogba and bring back Courtis
Im sorry….I just can’t get over how stupid lawrence’s first comment is.
Mangala would have been a nice addition. I think Zouma should be loaned to english top flight to garner reconditioning. Filipe Luis would also be a great addition and have Iva in the centre with Cahill and Azpi and Luis on the flanks. What to do with/about Bertrand…
