Chelsea Close – How Blues will Line up with €33.5m Superstar

Premier League champions Chelsea already have a top quality squad but need certain reinforcements to ensure rivals do not take over next season.
Jose Mourinho has always had more than one quality player for every position and the Blues are lately linked with a move for complete midfielder.
According to reports, Chelsea are planning €33.5m move for the Belgian international Axel Witsel who can play anywhere in midfield.
Russian football news also claimed that Blues are close to agreeing move for the former Primeira Liga star.
If the 26 year old midfielder joins Stamford Bridge, expect him to form a partnership with his ex-team mate at Benfica Nemanja Matic in a 4-2-3-1 system, Fabregas will then be pushed further upfront in place of Oscar. Mourinho has mainly preferred this formation and at times 4-3-3 where Matic, Fabregas and Witsel can form the midfield line up.
The Zenit star can also be utilized as an attacking midfielder but Chelsea have better options for that role.
Here is how Chelsea will line up with Axel Witsel.
