Well we know that Chelsea have done some great business with the acquisition of Michy Batshuayi.<\/p>\n
TFF expects Diego Costa to be sold and for the Belgium international powerhouse to start the season as Chelsea’s main number 9.<\/p>\n
He will be joined by N’Golo Kante who moved to Chelsea this weekend, with a deal done on Saturday.<\/p>\n
He will add further strength and steel to a spine which hasn’t always been the most spritely over the last year.<\/p>\n
The third signing which looks increasingly likely is that of Kalidou Koulibaly, the huge Senegalese centre back who stands at 6ft 5in. At 25 he looks absolutely tailor-made for The Premier League and will bring much-needed freshness to a central defence which has been very well marshalled by Gary Cahill and John Terry but has a combined age of well over 60.<\/p>\n
We may well expect further signings – perhaps another couple of full backs, especially if Conte decides to go with a less conventional formation with wing backs – but these three look likely to be his major summer signings.<\/p>\n
With this in mind, Chelsea’s line up is becoming clearer. The question marks remain about who starts in the midfield and whether Pedro has a future at the club.<\/p>\n
But here is our latest stab and we would love to know your thoughts.<\/p>\n
Chelsea supporters – a title chasing side?<\/p>\n
