Chelsea Transfers: 5 Left-Back Replacements For Ashley Cole
3. Alberto Moreno
Following his Europa League heroics with Sevilla last Wednesday, interest in Alberto Moreno is coming in thick and fast with Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid keen. Moreno starred for his club and played all 120 minutes as Sevilla dramatically saw off Benfica on penalties in the Europa League final, putting in a performance that has since seen his stock rise. At 21, the defender has a bright future ahead of him, and had been named in Spain's provisional World Cup squad having already broken into The Red Fury's senior side. Known as an attacking fullback, Moreno often goes forward providing his team with width, and chipped in with three goals in 28 La Liga appearances last season, while he also netted twice during Sevilla's Europa League run. The youngster would likely cost in excess of £15 million this summer, while the Blues would face something of a tussle with both Liverpool and Real in a bidding war.
