Blaise Matuidi (Paris Saint-Germain)
Another defensive midfielder that the Uefa Europa League holders have been eyeing up of late, according to reports in the Daily Star, although the 26-year-old is a player that can be bought on the cheap though when the winter window opens again for business at the turn of the year.
And that is because the France international’s current contract at the Parc des Princes only runs until June 30 2014, meaning that the Ligue 1 champions may prefer to offload the player to Chelsea in a cut-price deal in January, as opposed to losing the Frenchman on a free at the end of this season.
