In the last four years, Chelsea have won the league twice and finished outside the top 4 the remaining two times! The Blues fans are not happy with the club's transfer policies and that has been reflected by Eden Hazard too.

They need to invest big this summer and that can be the only way they can challenge for the title next season. It is still not confirmed if Antonio Conte or Maurizio Sarri will be at the helm for Chelsea but that should not stop the club from signing players, especially because the window closes before the season begins.

Here are 5 players who can help Chelsea win the title next season:

#5 Robert Lewandowski

Chelsea have Alvaro Morata, Olivier Giroud, Michy Batshuayi and Tammy Abraham in their ranks but none of them possess the threat that an out-and-out striker should have. Giroud has been in good touch ever since he joined in January but he's not the one who can help them win the league.

Robert Lewandowski reportedly wants to leave Bayern Munich and Chelsea have been tipped as the favourites to sign him. Real Madrid are also said to be monitoring him but the Blues need him more than Los Blancos.

Bayern Munich will put a big price tag on him and Chelsea will have to bring out their chequebooks to sign him. If they want to win the league and keep Eden Hazard, they need to bring in big players and show intent in the transfer window.

#4 Leon Bailey

Willian, Pedro and Eden Hazard are Chelsea's current options to play as wingers. Callum Hudson-Odoi and Charly Musonda are the youngsters in the team but they need someone who's young and got some experience.

Chelsea have been linked as they look for long-term replacements for Willian and Pedro. Bailey can be the ideal one for Chelsea on the right wing with Musonda helping out.

Bayer Leverkusen reportedly want £88 million but that fee can be easily reduced by Chelsea. They have a lot of youngsters who can be loaned out to the German club or even sold as a part of the deal.

#3 Jorginho

Jorge Luiz Frello Filho, or simply known as Jorginho should be one of the players Chelsea must target this summer. Cesc Fabregas is 30 now and they need to sign a replacement for him.

Mason Mount needs a loan move to a Premier League team before he makes it to the first team while Ruben Loftus-Cheek should be eased into the team slowly and not forced to take a lot of pressure.

If Sarri is to be the next Chelsea manager, he needs to bring Jorginho along with him. The Italian can dominate the midfield along with N'Golo Kante and this can win a lot of matches for them.

#2 Kalidou Koulibaly

Chelsea have a lot of centre-backs in their squad despite Kurt Zouma being out on loan. But this summer, they need to start thinking about the future and not just next season.

Gary Cahill might be the club captain but he's nowhere near the quality they need in the starting XI. The £7 million bargain signing from Bolton has had his time and needs to be replaced.

Kalidou Koulibaly can be the perfect signing for The Blues. Alongside Christensen, they can be one of the meanest duos in the world and shut out opponents like Terry and Carvalho did during their prime at Stamford Bridge.

#1 Jose Gimenez

Jose Gimenez was once touted as the best young centre-back in the world. However, he's not been able to develop as a player for the last 2 years.

He can be the ideal signing for Chelsea this summer as he can play as a center back and also as aright back. He can be the one to push Christensen to the next level and also put pressure on Azpilicueta, who is bound to play as the right back if Sarri takes over.

The move would also help Gimenez become a better player as the style of football under Sarri is totally opposite of Simeone.
