Chelsea Transfers: 5 Essential Replacements For Fernando Torres

4. Burak Yilmaz

yilmaz Last month, the Blues were linked with a move for Turkish goal-machine Burak Yilmaz, the man who has taken the Süper Lig by storm over the last two seasons. While at Trabzonspor, Yilmaz netted 58 goals in 93 appearances before joining Galatasaray last summer, where he scored 24 league goals last season. As well as scoring a ton of goals domestically, the 28-year-old also enjoyed a fruitful Champions League campaign, scoring 8 times in 9 European appearances for 2012/13. It is this form that has attracted Chelsea, while Gala would likely demand £20 million for the star this summer. Despite only signing for the Turkish outfit last summer, a deal could still be on the cards for the striker to move to Chelsea - that's according to Gala's president œnal Aysal. He said: "If Burak wants to leave and our transfer demands are matched we could accept a deal."
