Chelsea should snap up these 2 Arsenal stars this summer

Premier League champions Chelsea broke another record on Sunday by recording their 30th win of the campaign over relegated Sunderland at Stamford Bridge.

Antonio Conte’s men had the title wrapped up much earlier but knew that victory over David Moyes’ Black Cats would break the record set by Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea in 2005 and 2006, when they won 29 of their 38 games.

And Conte’s side did just that by thumping the Championship-bound outfit 5-1 at Stamford Bridge, with goals from Willian, Eden Hazard, Pedro, and a late brace from Michy Batshuayi sealing a comprehensive victory for the Blues, who then pursued to lift the Premier League trophy soon after.

However, attentions will already be beginning to turn to next season’s Champions League campaign and title defence, in what looks set to be an arguably tougher term for manager Conte, especially given that he has set the standards pretty high this time round.

Nonetheless, signings will be crucial this summer to help Chelsea consolidate their place at the top, and Conte may even look to some of his nearest rivals in a bid to acquire the top talent needed to stay at the summit.

And one club he could raid is Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal, so here are TWO Gunners stars Chelsea must try and land this summer…

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

If you had to question the depth of one area in the Chelsea squad, it would probably be the wing-back options, what with Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses the main options Conte has in that area.

And that is why a move for Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain would make sense this summer, as the 23-year-old would provide cover for that position given how well he has performed there for the Gunners in recent times, as well as a few other positions on the field.

The England star has spoken of his frustration at a lack of first team opportunities at the Emirates, and although it may appear harder to get into the Chelsea team, their commitments on a domestic and European stage next term will inevitably provide opportunities in the first team.

And, as a result, Conte should look to land Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer as he seeks to bolster his squad ahead of a pivotal campaign next term.

Alexis Sanchez

Much has been made about Alexis Sanchez’s thus far refusal to sign a new deal at Arsenal, and you sense that it’s very likely that he’ll leave the Gunners as a result this summer.

And Conte’s Chelsea are one team reportedly interested in the Chile international, who has had an outstanding campaign at the Emirates.

Sanchez netted 24 goals and laid on ten assists in 38 Premier League appearances this season to give Wenger’s men a chance of finishing in the top four, and with six goals in other competitions as well, it goes without saying how crucial he has been to the Gunners this season.

Yet it doesn’t appear that he is willing to commit his future to the club, and as a result Chelsea should look to snap up the 28-year-old this summer.
