Chelsea Transfers: Five Replacements For Frank Lampard

2. Marouane Fellaini

Chelsea will offer Everton £20million* in January for Marouane Fellaini, as they look to bulk up their midfield. The Belgian internationals career has been up in the air ever since he inexplicably headbutted Stokes Ryan Shawcross, for which he is still serving a suspension. Now, Chelsea look to capitalise on that uncertainty by making a concrete offer. In September, Fellaini himself stated this season "would be one of his last" at Goodison Park.** That sent alarm bells ringing at Everton and alerted both Chelsea and Real Madrid to his potential availability. Whilst the Belgian national is contracted to the Toffee's until 2016, a £20million offer might just be too tempting for David Moyes to turn down. Source(s): * London Evening Standard, ** Daily Mail
