Three players Chelsea is eyeing for a move in the upcoming winter transfer window

Chelsea football club had one of the vastly successful transfer window businesses of all time. The club enrolled a great amount of talent and abided by all of the requests of Frank Lampard.

Marina Granovskia pulled plenty of strings to make sure young and more importantly world-class talents ensured at Stamford Bridge in this summer transfer window.

Timo Werner from Leipzig, Ben Chilwell from Leicester City, Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen, Hakim Ziyech from AFC Ajax and Thiago Silva from PSG- to get anyone is a huge deal. To get them all together – that’s formulating a standard.

And it’s bound to get huge for Chelsea as they target three more players in January! Seems like Lampard is not going to end until he creates an ambition team. Take a glance at the three targets for Chelsea.

1. David Alaba

 David Alaba is reportedly quitting Bayern Munich this season. The Austrian International has decided it is the time for a new challenge in his career.

According to gossips, Chelsea is directing the race to sign the highly skilled defender at the moment. Alaba can give a decent choice at center-back as well as in the left-back role. He can also be a mentor to the young players at Chelsea and enrich the squad in terms of experience and maturity.

With an aging Alaba, it may barely prove to be the ideal signing. He is on the wrong side of the 30s at this moment and has got a decent amount of capacity left in him. But it can also turn out to be a boon for Chelsea, particularly in crucial matches where they can use both Alaba and Thiago Silva’s vast experience.

2. Declan Rice

The name of Declan Rice appeared in the summer as well with the famous transfer window spokesman Fabrizio Romano tweeting continuously about a reasonable deal. However, that didn’t go through with West Ham United charging huge fees.

But reports indicate that Declan Rice could be nearing a move this January with Lampard very vastly interested in the youngster. Chelsea has a vast depth in their midfield with the likings of Jorginho and Kovacic but a player like Declan Rice can’t be ignored. He will only give rise to positives for the team.

His arrival is long-awaited by his childhood friend, Mason Mount who is ready to form a partnership with him at the club level as well. Both the players play for the England National team and have enjoyed one another’s company. Lamaprd is particularly a fan of Rice too, and not to mention he is West Ham’s star player.

Lampard was keen to add Rice to the squad this summer but the move didn’t materialize due to lack of funds, after spending about a hefty sum of money on the new players.

3. Matthew Bondswell

Young England fullback, Mathew Bondwell is presently on the radar of Chelsea as they lookout for a young left-back option for Ben Chilwell. He is presently spending time with RB Leipzig.

Both Chelsea and West Ham United are tracking their movements with clubs very vastly interested. Should he enter Chelsea, it will confirm to be a good choice at the left flank of the defense. This will only mean that an exit door will be shown to Marcos Alonso who has struggled to perform at the highest level for the club.

In addition to these three names, Dayot Upamecano and Jose Gimenez of Atletico Madrid of RB Leipzig is also being glanced at. Both center-backs are in for a reasonable move to west London. But as per rumors, they will face heavy competition from the likes of Real Madrid for the Upemecano transfer. Only time will say what card will CHelsea play in the upcoming winter transfer window.
