2. Nemanja Matic (Benfica to Chelsea)
It’s a case that draws parallels with that of the prodigal son. Chelsea let Matic go back in 2011 as part of a deal that saw David Luiz arrive at the club.
He went on to thrive in Portugal, boosting his reputation as a fine tackler and passer at the base of midfield. Now Chelsea have brought him back, parting with just over £20 million in so doing.
Chelsea have lacked a real ball-winner in midfield. He will need time to settle back in at the club, but once he does, he should provide a sturdy platform upon which the likes of Willian, Oscar, and Eden Hazard can shine.
