Who YOU want Chelsea to sign in 3 key positions this summer
We ran a series of polls on transfer targets, our followers have made up their minds!
It is common knowledge by now that Chelsea could once again be in for a busy summer, despite the ongoing pandemic.
The club are coping well financially, one of the few clubs around the world who are doing so.
Of course, the pandemic will effect the summers transfer window, and it certainly will not be a selling market, which could in turn effect how much business Chelsea decide to do.
However, we know there are three key positions that the club could look to buy in this summer, obviously being dependent on a number of factors, including who they can sell in the current squad.
But we know Chelsea look to be prioritising a new centre forward, potentially a new defensive midfielder, and a new centre back.
Instead of me always doing all the talking and telling you who I would like to see, I decided to pass the buck over to you guys, running a series of transfer polls to gauge the general feel of who YOU would like to see Chelsea arrive at the club this summer.
I will conduct a series of polls for next weeks newsletter, for potential departures you want to see.
Let’s begin with the position YOU think Chelsea should prioritise this summer..
You said - Striker, with 59% of the votes after almost 8,000 voters.
So which striker do you want to see us sign?
You said - Erling Haaland, with 52% if the votes after almost 10,000 voters. Romelu Lukaku was next with 24%, then Sergio Aguero with 22%.
Next up, which defensive midfielder should Chelsea prioritise?
This was the clearest result yet. You said - Declan Rice, with a unanimous 84% of votes out of almost 5,000 voters. Next was Aurelien Tchouameni with 9%, and the rest is just irrelevant!
Finally, we have the centre backs.
You said - Jose Gimenez, with 47% of the votes after over 5,000 voters. This was a bit closer though, with Sevilla’s Jules Kounde coming close behind with 31% of the votes.
Interestingly, there are strong reports of Chelsea starting talks with Kounde, you can check that out here.
The other two, Niklas Sule and Ibrahima Konate did not even come close!
We conducted these polls using the most realistic targets as possible and the names we have seen linked to the club the most.
Don’t forget to tune in next week for the poll results asking YOU guys who you want to see sold this summer.
