The previous season seems to have taken a toll on all of Chelsea’s players except Willian who has managed to carry an entire team on his shoulders up until now. Not to take away any of the other players’ merits, but the Brazilian is by far the stand-out name of the season. Unfortunately, he is sort of alone with all other teammates covering the midfield, failing to find their form. Hazard is not the player he once was and continuing this way could damage his career dearly. There is even a chance of seeing him leave which is not necessarily a bad thing given his lasts performances. Oscar is quiet, way to quiet and probably needs someone to push him a little. Pedro is out of his element just as Fabregas who even stated he is having trouble sleeping when thinking of what is going on at the club. All might be for the best though as Abramovich could be looking to start over and upgrade the team.

According to Metro, he might start by bringing in Sevilla’s latest star quality player, Yevhen Konoplyanka. The 26-year-old is going down the same path as many others before him who have made themselves noticed through the Spanish club. Up until now no one who came from Sevilla failed to deliver. Just take a look at Rakitic, Bacca, Diego Lopez, Sergio Ramos, Dani Alves, Adriano, Geoffrey Kondogbia or Jesus Navas. This club always develop the best in Europe which can only mean good things about their future exports. Why is this good news for Chelsea? Well because it appears that an increase in pay and proper negotiation could secure the Ukraine international whose simple football may be what Chelsea need right now. Money will not be an issue as the salary can be covered by letting Falcao return to Monaco and also by selling Cuadrado.
