3. Richarlison

Speaking of steals, one of the best transfer deals this year was Watford getting this Brazilian winger from Fluminense. The 21-year-old became an instant spark for the Hornets, grabbing five goals and four assists this season.

A tricky customer with his fluid dribbling and great pace, he’s a counter-attacking nightmare for opposing teams. He’s got star written in his future, and Chelsea should capitalize on that this summer. Let’s take a quick look at right-wing spot for Conte’s side.

Willian is basically the main right-winger, yet he’s had to settle for the bench most of the season. He may be looking for a move elsewhere, while Pedro is suddenly showing his age at 30 years old. A fresh face like Richarlison could do the trick, and it wouldn’t cost much.

It’s almost too good not to give it a shot. Chelsea were more effective in a 3-4-3 than the 3-5-1-1 they used with Hazard behind either Morata or Olivier Giroud. Adding Richarlison will surely give Chelsea some much-needed pace down the wings.
