Chelsea Transfers: 5 World Class Replacements For Fernando Torres

4. Wilfried Bony

Wilfried Bony may not be the "big name" striker Chelsea fans expected to see on a list like this but make no mistake, the Ivorian is every inch a world class player. The Vitesse Arnhem marksman has just finished the season as the top goalscorer in the Netherlands after bagging a scintillating 31 goals in 32 league games helping his side finish 4th in the Eredivisie. Bony has scored two hat-tricks this term and even went on a run of breathtaking form that saw him score 15 goals over 10 consecutive matches. He has been linked with a move to Chelsea, along with other leading clubs in Europe and once said a move to England would be "perfect". He has been touted as the next Didier Drogba due to his nationality, strength and prodigious goalscoring, and would be the perfect replacement for the former Chelsea ace, or, in this instance, the perfect replacement for Fernando Torres, too.
