Given the countless rumours swirling around Romelu Lukaku’s potential return to Chelsea, this is a bit of an obvious choice. Despite impressing on loan spells away from the club, Jose Mourinho allowed Everton to prise away the Belgian target-man from Chelsea, where he was signed as Didier Drogba’s successor.

While Lukaku has not reached the heights of the Ivorian, he has performed extremely well for Everton this season, scoring 25 goals in 38 appearances so far. Given his form and that he is still only 23, luring Lukaku away from Everton will take a huge bid in the range of £50 million, an embarrasing u-turn from the £28 million Chelsea received when they let him leave.

It will not matter a jot to Conte, who favours a 3-5-2 or 4-3-3 formation, which might see the rest of the Premier League gaze upon the terrifying sight of Diego Costa and Lukaku lining up together, a duo that can perform as a battering ram and dovetail with each other while possesing lethal finishing skills, a truly mouth-watering prospect.

Even if Costa decides to leave, after an unhappy spell this season in trouble with the FA, Lukaku can still be the lone spearhead for Chelsea, as Conte’s high-pressing system suits the Belgian to a tee.
