Chelsea Transfers: 5 Replacements For Frank Lampard

3. Sami Khedira

Khediera If, as predicted, Jose Mourinho makes his triumphant return to Chelsea to replace interim boss Rafael Benitez in the summer, it is likely he will be bringing a few familiar faces with him. It was reported earlier this month that one of the first signings the Portuguese' would make as new Chelsea manager would be Sami Khedira, currently playing under his stewardship at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid. Mourinho is said to be a huge fan of the German international - who has been a big part of the Madrid side that has reached this season's Champions League semi-finals. Considered a dynamic midfielder with "flawless aerial ability", Khedira could form a tantalizing partnership with fellow countryman Marko Marin in the Blues' midfield.
