Chelsea are on a rampage now. After a quiet start to the window, the reigning champions of England are in full motion in the transfer merry-go-round. They started with Rudiger, then followed it up with the acquisition of Tiemoue Bakayoko – and now they have topped it off with the signing of Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid.
However, Chelsea still need to sign more players to have a super-squad. The left-back is a priority position at the Stamford Bridge, which is why Alex Sandro became their primary target initially. His high valuation, however, has left the trail cold – and here are 5 left-backs Chelsea could sign instead.

The Athletic Club defender is one of the most talented players to come out of the Basque club’s fabled academy. In his younger days, he was so impressive that Real Madrid were continually linked with a move, but it never materialised.
However, at some point, he is bound to leave the club – and Chelsea could be an ideal destination. He can also play at centre-back, something that Conte will appreciate since he likes versatile players (who doesn’t?).
