5 Players Chelsea MUST Sign This Summer

Chelsea have been linked with the German previously, but this summer could be the time they get their man due to the current crop in the Chelsea back line failing to live up to expectations this season.

All parties could be interested in this transfer; Chelsea need to shore up their defence and who better than one of the best defenders in the world? Bayern Munich are looking to trim their squad size, and Boateng himself admitted he could leave Germany this summer and may have a point to prove by returning to the Premier League.

The 29-year-old has played a key role as Bayern dominated domestically and remained highly competitive in Europe - he's an incredible athlete, reads the game well and alongside doing the basics can also bring the ball out of defence to carry the team forward.

Having won the Bundesliga six years running, he'd no doubt relish a new challenge and is that injection of quality at the back Chelsea have been crying out for.
