These 3 star January signings are top of Chelsea’s Christmas list

James Rodriguez

After lighting up the 2014 World Cup with Colombia, James Rodriguez made a big money move to Real Madrid, and scored 17 goals in his first season at the Bernabeu.

However, his goal and appearance tallies have slowly decreased since then, and it now looks like he is nothing more than a fringe player in the Spanish capital.

Consequently, the 25-year-old could be available in January and, given Chelsea attempted to get a deal done for the attacker in the summer, they should go in for him again in the New Year.

With the futures of Oscar and Willian uncertain, Conte may need to reinforce his attacking options, and a player with the quality of Rodriguez would certainly do just that.
