Chelsea had a pretty dismal season as the Premier League title defenders and finished their campaign languishing in the 5th place on the table. As a result, they did not qualify for the Champions League and will be playing on Thursday nights in the UEFA Europa League.

However, the club seems to have finally woken up from a limbo of sorts after releasing an indifferent Antonio Conte and replacing him with the efficient Maurizio Sarri who can go on to revamp Chelsea’s footballing philosophy altogether.

So without further ado, let’s take a look at 3 players who can help Chelsea win the title this season:

#3 Hirving Lozano

Hirving Lozano announced himself on the big stage by scoring the first goal in Mexico’s win over Germany. He was absolutely unstoppable on the counter as most defenders struggled to keep up with him.

The PSV forward can play on either wing and does not mind tracking back and helping the defenders out in time of need. He was impressive even in El Tri’s final game of the World Cup vs Brazil and was unfortunate to see an early shot blocked by Alisson.

Lozano’s stats at the World Cup are pretty impressive. He completed 23 dribbles, took 13 shots and only ever relinquished possession 7 times over the course of Mexico’s stay in the tournament.

With Willian and Pedro walking into their 30s and Eden Hazard tipped to leave at the end of the summer, Chelsea should go all out and sign the youngster.

#2 Gonzalo Higuain

This might not be a very popular opinion but signing Gonzalo Higuain could prove to be a great bit of business by Chelsea. The forward is 30 years old and can’t be faulted for finding his place in the starting XI at Juventus at stake following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Alvaro Morata is yet to prove that he can be the main man for Chelsea and in the time that he takes to attain that sortof maturity, Gonzalo Higuain can thrive at Stamford Bridge. He can be a stop gap replacement of sorts and it will benefit both the club and the player.

There have also been several rumours of a deal shaping up. Higuain started 32 games for Juventus in the Serie A and scored 16 goals and set up another 6. He also scored 5 goals in the Champions League.

Sarri should just sign Higuain up and this will also benefit Morata as he can learn a lot from a seasoned forward who has had his time in the limelight and has played alongside some of the best players to have played the game.

#1 Subasic

The AS Monaco goalkeeper was one of the main reasons why Croatia even made it to the final of the World. His magnificent performances, particularly in the penalty shootouts, in the games against Russia and Denmark buoyed the Croats forward when all hope seemed lost.

There have already been rumours of Thibaut Courtois agreeing to join Real Madrid and everyone knows by now that Willy Caballero is not a good replacement.

Subasic is huge and is almost of the same build as Courtois and at the age of 33 it is unlikely that he will cost Chelsea a fortune. He could serve them well for a good 3 seasons and in that time, Chelsea can assess their options and go on and sign a promising young goalkeeper.
