Chelsea Transfers: 5 Signings Jose Mourinho Must Make To Challenge For The Title

5. Wesley Sneijder

Sneijder The Dutch international may seem like a strange selection, especially given the fact he only signed for Galatasaray from Italian giants Inter Milan in January, but the 29-year old is seriously considering cutting short his stay with the 19-time Turkish champions. His move to the Türk Telekom Arena six months ago was a strange one considering more "attractive" clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester United were interested, and Holland coach Louis Van Gaal has warned the player he would stand a much better chance in being involved in his 2014 World Cup squad if he moved to a "bigger club" such as Chelsea. Galatasaray have even suggested the midfielder is available for around £12.75 million this summer, meaning a move away is more viable than many first imagined. Despite the fact Frank Lampard has just been handed a new one-year contract, the Blues could use a new pass-master and there are very few in the game today who possess the impeccable passing range of the Dutchman, who is also a set-piece specialist. He is well-known to Mourinho having played under his stewardship in 2010 when Inter won the Champions League.
