#1 Robert Lewandowski

Chelsea's dried attack upfront was perhaps the most crucial reason why the Blues failed to impress this season. With Diego Costa gone, Michy Batshuyayi loaned out and Alvaro Morata misfiring, Conte's men lacked the edge that could have guaranteed them points.

Hence, it isn't a surprise to see Chelsea being linked with a host of strikers, with Bayern hitman Robert Lewandowski being one of them.

The Pole is of the finest no.9's in the world right now and signing him would guarantee Abrahamovic and co. a strong Champions League campaign. His 42 goals in 51 games are exactly the kind of ammunition the Londoners need in order to stamp their authority as serious contenders for the UCL next season.

Chelsea have been linked with the striker on a number of occasions. Should Lewandowski put pen to paper at the Stamford Bridge, no doubt he would transform the Blues into world beaters.

#2 Jan Oblak

The rumours about Thibaut Courtois leaving the Bridge have refused to cease for the past couple of months. The Belgian keeper also declared his clear intentions on joining Spanish giants Real Madrid in the summer.

In the light of Courtois's rumoured departure, Chelsea would pull out a great coup by signing Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak as an apt replacement. The shot-stopper notched 22 clean sheets in the league, thereby winning the La Liga Golden Glove for season 2017/18.

Worthy enough to don the Blue shirt, isn't he?

#1 Gareth Bale

It is clearly evident that Chelsea are in need of another Eden Hazard-like player who can act as a decisive factor in winning games. Who better than Gareth Bale to look out for, in that case?

Time and again the Welshman has stamped his authority as one of the best players in the world in spite of his constant battles with injuries. Bale is a gifted big-game performer, always coming to the aid of his team whenever required. For a fine proof, just have a look at his scorching brace against Liverpool in the final.

If they succeed in retaining Eden Hazard and signing Robert Lewandowski, the acquisition of Gareth Bale would work wonders for the Blues. Chelsea could revert back to the 4-3-3, the formation that helped them win the Premier League title in 2017, with Eden Hazard, Robert Lewandowski and Gareth Bale forming a fearsome trifecta at the front.

Gareth Bale is keen on a return to the Premier League with Manchester United being rumoured as his preferred destination. Reports linking Chelsea to the Welshman have fizzled out, but with the right attitude and by making haste, Roman Abrahamovic and co. could succeed in snatching another of United's primary targets right from their jaws.
