With the transfer window only a couple of months away, we begin to enter the exciting time of transfer speculation and rumours.
Who doesn’t love a good transfer story? The summer is always rife with hot off the press stories about multi-million-pound deal – and smaller ones – that could be taking place.
The Bundesliga is always a big talking point, with the vast array of talent it boasts amongst its 18 clubs – including Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund.
Premier League clubs are constantly looking to snap up the best talent from around the globe and this summer will be no different.
Current Premier League leaders Chelsea are one of the clubs expected to spend big this year, but could they splash their cash in the Bundesliga pool?
The Blues have explored the idea before, with Baba Rahman in recent times, so here are four Bundesliga players Chelsea could sign…
Aturo Vidal - Bayern
Vidal is easily one of the most talented midfielders in Europe and has been previously linked to Chelsea before.
If Antonio Conte wants to push his side on to the next level, Vidal is the type of player he should be looking at.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos- Dortmund
Chelsea are thought to be looking for a central defender in the summer, and they don’t get much better than Dortmund’s Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
The Greek stopper has been superb for Dortmund this season, with a number of excellent performance at the back.
He would be an excellent addition to Chelsea’s backline and has a wealth of experience playing in a back-three system.
Sead Kolašinac - Schalke
Sead Kolašinac is available on a free transfer this summer, making him a shrewd option for Conte to explore.
He would add depth to the left wing-back options at the club.
Emil Forsberg - RB Leipzig
Forsberg has been a revelation for Leipzig this season and is already being linked with a move to the Premier League.
He would, perhaps, find it hard to break into the Chelsea team at first, but he has all the qualities to become a world-class player.
