Chelsea Transfers: 5 Essential Replacements For Fernando Torres

2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Ibrahimovic Alternatively, Jose Mourinho could look toward Paris Saint-Germain's goal-machine Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a replacement for Fernando Torres. Ibrahimovic was in electric form last season, netting 30 goals in 34 Ligue 1 outings to finish the campaign as the top goalscorer in France. The Swede also scored a further three Champions League goals in 9 appearances as a Ibrahimovic inspired-Les Parisiens reached the quarter-finals of the competition. And according to the Daily Star, the 31-year-old is on the radar this summer for Chelsea and was also a target for Manchester City. Never one to stick around for long - the striker has played for seven different clubs in the past 14 years - Ibrahimovic could be on the move again just 12 months after joining the PSG revolution. And if he can carry over his impressive goalscoring spree from last season in England, he'd be a terrific replacement for Torres.
