5 players Chelsea should look to sign in January 

Everton v Chelsea - Premier League
Conte wants reinforcements

#1 Alexis Sanchez

Southampton v Arsenal - Premier League
The Chilean's contract ends this summer

Alexis Sanchez is certain to ply his trade somewhere other than at Arsenal next year. With his contract running down in the summer, he represents the most value for money for Chelsea since Lewandowski did when he went to Bayern on a free transfer.

Sanchez is a proven world class player in the Premier League and will complement Morata and Hazard perfectly. Conte can go back to the 3-4-3 formation safe in the knowledge that Morata has two remarkable players behind him. However, Chelsea face competition from Manchester City although there are two points that should sway Sanchez in Chelsea's direction.

Firstly, he is well settled in London and secondly, City have a wealth of world-class players in his position. At Chelsea, he will be revered as much as Hazard, all while still living in London.
