7) Winston Reid (West Ham)
Age: 26
Premier League proven and relentlessly solid. For no transfer fee, it’s a no-brainer.
6) Stephan Lichtsteiner (Juventus)
Age: 30
A proven defender of European pedigree, the Swiss would solve our right-back problems for a few seasons at least.
5) Luiz Adriano (Shakhtar)
Age: 27
This season’s Champions League top scorer, Luiz Adriano is a potent finisher and would dramatically boost our current forward line.
4) Andrea Ranocchia (Inter Milan)
Age: 26
Italian international and captain of Inter Milan aged 26. Chelsea have been heavily linked in the past.
3) Andre Ayew (Marseille)
Age: 24
A real fireball in attack, Ayew has excelled in Ligue 1 this term and provides both goals, pace and assists from the flank.
2) James Milner (Manchester City)
Age: 28
The underrated England international would be a great addition, but is likely to extend his City deal.
1) Sami Khedira (Real Madrid)
Age: 27
In 2014, Khedira’s won a World Cup and a Champions League – but the likes of Arsenal and potentially Bayern Munich are also interested in his services.
