Pogba to Chelsea – four players who could lose their place if he joins.
With rumours that Jose Mourinho could pull off a sensational deadline day move to bring Juventus star Paul Pogba to Chelsea, here’s a look at the four players who’d likely be out in the cold at Stamford Bridge if he joined…
1) Cesc Fabregas
A player badly off form at the moment, it could be that former Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas will be the first to lose his place in midfield if the Pogba to Chelsea deal does happen, with the Spanish international no longer exerting that influence over games that he used to.

2) Oscar
It could be that Mourinho could bring Pogba to Chelsea to play in an even more attacking role than he has in his career so far, with inconsistent Brazilian playmaker Oscar perhaps under threat for that number ten role if the Frenchman arrives.
3) Nemanja Matic
Less likely perhaps, but Nemanja Matic has had a slow start to the season and could be punished if Pogba is brought in to play in a more deep-lying defensive midfield role.
4) Ramires
A player already struggling for games as it is, Ramires’ future at Chelsea would be in real doubt if Pogba joined on deadline day, with the Brazilian possibly a contender to move in the other direction as part of the deal.
