​Chelsea hero Hasselbaink names two likely signings if ban is lifted

Chelsea star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has named two transfers the club should make if they can overturn their transfer ban.

The Blues face a tough summer, where they want to improve in key positions and compensate for the possible loss of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.

If they can manage to have their transfer ban postponed or overturned, there are two likely signings that Hasselbaink can see the club completing.

He said to us-bookies.com: "If Chelsea don't have a transfer ban, I think they'll target two Crystal Palace players.

"Firstly, Aaron Wan-Bissaka can push Cesar Azpilicueta for a starting place and will learn a lot from him. He's a very good right-back, and can defend very well.

"And then Wilfried Zaha brings the excitement. If Eden Hazard goes, you need somebody to take players on.

"Yes, they have Callum Hudson-Odoi but any good side needs four wide players, especially if something happens to Pedro or Willian.

"I think it will be difficult for Crystal Palace to keep them, with all due respect. If they're going to go, I think it's best for them to stay in London.

"Yes, Wilfried Zaha had a difficult move to Man United that didn't work out so I think it'd be good for him to stay in London."
