3 players who could follow Oscar out of Chelsea in January

Branislav Ivanovic

Branislav Ivanovic was one of the biggest culprits for Chelsea’s defensive woes at the start of the season, and has since been on the periphery of the first team.

The Serbian international performed poorly in the first month of the season, which prompted Conte to implement a back three at Chelsea, which has been an unbelievable success since.

However, what it has done is limited Ivanovic’s opportunities in the first team, who has been restricted to just substitute appearances since their 3-0 defeat at Arsenal on September 24.

Consequently, with his contract up at the end of the season, the 32-year-old could be about to end his eight-year association with Chelsea in January, with the likes of Juventus and Barcelona linked with the defender.
