The World Cup always brings up star players who get linked to big moves away after the tournament ends.

Despite this version of the competition being during the winter, there is still more than enough speculation to wet the appetite for Chelsea fans.

They were already linked to stars such as Josko Gvardiol, who is enjoying a sensational tournament at just 20 years of age.

One player that the Blues have become linked with since the tournament began is Joao Felix. Reports have claimed that the player is keen on leaving Atletico Madrid.

While Chelsea are reportedly one of a number of linked clubs, they would do far better to look to another Portugal star if they are to strengthen in attack.

Rafael Leao was touted for a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, however the Blues couldn’t agree a fee with AC Milan.

Chelsea should choose Leao over Felix

However, they will surely have gained encouragement if reports are true that the winger is hesitating to sign a new deal to stay at the San Siro.

The journalist went on to claim that Chelsea have made their first bid to sign Leao, however fell way short of the £128m that Milan are hoping for him.

Despite mostly coming off the bench during the World Cup, he showed more than enough glimpses of what he can do.

When coming on the pitch, he instantly brought a more direct approach to Portugal’s attack on the left, worrying full backs from a number of nations.

He also showed his composure in front of goal. The winning goal against Ghana was followed up with by a sensational strike against Switzerland.

With the Blues lacking a regular goal threat or even a creative spark for the majority of this season, the addition of Leao would completely revolutionise their attack.
