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.
1Wendell Borges
Brazilian full-backs almost always have something special about them – and Wendell is no different. Playing for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, he is amongst the club’s most consistent performance. Wendell is quick and is defensively very adept, something that gives more protection to the backline.
Also, there is a bonus: he is very good at taking free-kicks. Brazilian left-back who is good at taking free-kicks, Roberto Carlos much?
