AGREED? THESE TWO PLAYERS SHOULD FOLLOW THOMAS LEMAR TO CHELSEA IN JANUARY IF HE JOINS (see full info)

Blues fans here in the Tavern are excited for the January transfer window, not knowing what star might stroll in to Cobham. 

Chelsea have always been a side that makes lots of business manoeuvres over the course of the transfer window, with Alvaro Morata and Antonio Rudiger the highlights of the last.

With a Champions League spot still not guaranteed, Conte and his men are going to need to do everything they can to make it a reality. Meaning that Roman Abramovich holds the keys to a successful future, with that old chequebook of his needing to come out again.

Indeed, Chelsea are currently hosting one of their weakest attacking lines, with the likes of Arjen Robben and Didier Drogba looking far superior to the present, Willian and Pedro.

Nevertheless, reports suggest that the £90 million-rated Thomas Lemar is a target for Antonio Conte, with the Italian keen on bringing him to the Bridge.

Thomas Lemar has been setting the Ligue 1 alight this season with his current side AS Monaco, providing assists and goals on a regular basis to go with his unbelievable array of tricks and skills.

But with this signing not necessarily being enough to compete with the likes of Manchester City, here’s TWO players who may just follow the Frenchman to the English capital.

WILFRIED ZAHA

The 25-year-old has been sensational so far this season in a Crystal Palace side that have just started to pick up results in recent times, very much under the influence of Wilfried Zaha’s magical performances.

For a player that failed to break into the Manchester United side earlier on his career, he’s now attracting interest from half of the top 6 clubs in the Premier League. A fantastic achievement for the Palace winger, just goes to show that hard work pays off.

Although in recent times one side that’s particularly shown an awful lot of interest in the attacker is Antonio Conte, after reports in the Sun suggested that Chelsea are eager to see him put on the blue shirt

MOUCTAR DIAKHABY

The 21-year-old central-defender has been one of the rising stars in French football, another product of their fantastic youth-system that keeps on producing.

He plays his football for Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais, and has been a crucial part of their successful season in Europe and domestically with goals and solidity at the back making him an attractive prospect.

Indeed, with Antonio Conte seeing the positive effect that Antonio Rudiger has had this season with Gary Cahill looking worse for wear, reports in the Daily Mail suggested that the Blues are considering a move for the defender.

Chelsea fans, thoughts?
