2 targets Chelsea fans should get excited about in January

Antoine Griezmann

They may have to fend off interest from Manchester United, but Chelsea are very much in the race for Antoine Griezmann.

The French international was integral to his side’s run to the European Championship final in the summer, with his six goals, including a brace in the semi-final win over Germany, helping to inspire the nation throughout the tournament.

Euro 2016 was a culmination of a brilliant few years at Atletico Madrid, where the 25-year-old has netted 57 times in two seasons for the Spanish club.

However, he parted company with his agent last month and, with an £85 million release clause unlikely to put Chelsea off, the Blues could move for the La Liga Player of the Year in January.
