Chelsea did a terrible job of defending the Premier League title. The ended the season having failed to secure a Champions League spot. The fans are distraught and are desperate for success despite their FA Cup triumph.

Chelsea are yet to make a signing in this summer transfer market and that will need to change. Their transfer business from last season has been deemed a failure in several quarters as none of their signings, except maybe Antonio Rudiger, making an impact in his debut season.

Chelsea did not back down from spending in the winter transfer window either but none of those signings did anything to write home about either.

The Stamford Bridge outfit will need to get to business in the transfer market and sign some top quality players to address their defensive and goalscoring woes.

On that note, let’s take a look at 3 signings that will make Chelsea unstoppable.

#3 Jean Michael Seri

The Chelsea midfield was doing just fine with the double pivot of Matic and Kante enabling Fabregas to be the playmaker- something he excels at. However, following the shock sale of Matic to Manchester United, Chelsea have looked at sixes and sevens at midfield.

Bakayoko was booed by his own team’s fans. Drinkwater did not do anything worthy of commendation and Ross Barkley is yet to regain fitness. That is why they need to sign Jean Michael Seri.

In fact, Seri has already been linked heavily with a move to Chelsea that could see Drinkwater going the other way.

Seri was close to joining Barcelona last season before the move fell out. Since then he has endured a difficult season at Nice but he is still a top quality player.

Chelsea are almost certain to switch to a 4-3-3 next season and Seri will most likely be occupying one of the two advanced midfield positions. His passing ability is immaculate and can play those incisive passes that can carve defences open.

If Seri and Fabregas can dictate play with Kante sweeping behind them, Chelsea will be a very difficult team to negotiate with in midfield.

#2 Leon Bailey

Two of Chelsea’s main wingers are Pedro and Willian. Pedro is 30-years-old and Willian is 29. They are not getting any younger and it is high time that Chelsea invested in a quality winger.

Hazard plays more centrally than he used to in his younger days and that is just another reason why Chelsea should be looking to rope in Leon Bailey from Bayer Leverkusen.

The 20-year-old Jamaican was in fine form for his team this past campaign. He started 25 Bundesliga games and scored 9 goals and provided 6 assists.

Though he can play on either side of the park, he prefers starting down the left flank.

Bailey is left-footed and his dribbling skills can send defenders dropping like flies. He can also put in a mean cross which the likes of Morata will love to feast on.

Bailey is also great from set-pieces and is pretty good at testing the keeper from range. At 20 years of age, Bailey displays some immense talent and Chelsea should sign him up right away.

#1 Mauro Icardi

This is a no-brainer really. Alvaro Morata has had a poor start to life in the Premier League. After starting off on a high note, he has faded immensely and cuts a frustrated figure in the middle of the park.

Meanwhile, Mauro Icardi has been tearing it up in Serie A. He scored a staggering 29 goals from 34 games and has been one of the best strikers in all of Europe last season.

Inter are reportedly ready to listen to offers for Mauro Icardi and Chelsea should pull out all stops to make sure the Argentinian comes to Stamford Bridge.

Icardi’s composure in front of goal will be a welcome change from Morata’s wastefulness. He is also a great header of the ball and that is the one aspect in which Morata and Giroud shine.

But that’s not it, there’s so much more to Icardi’s game than Morata’s and Giroud’s and he is only 25-years-old. If Chelsea are in the market for a striker as they should be, they should be looking to land Mauro Icardi as that will make them unstoppable.
