FIVE Chelsea Players To Keep An Eye On During The World Cup

With the World Cup around the corner here are five Chelsea players that we can expect to have an impact in Brazil this summer.

1) Eden Hazard - Belgium

The playmaker had his strongest season to date last time out and was the focal point of praise in the Chelsea side. The 23-year-old played 35 Premier League games, created 92 opportunities and scored 14 goals.

He is part of a Belgium squad that is fancied as a dark horse in the tournament and his individual performances will have a big impact on whether they can make a name for themselves.

2) Oscar - Brazil

Oscar is a staple in the host's side and will be looking to continue his fine form from the season just gone. He played 33 league games, scored eight goals and completed 83% of his passes.

Brazil have the opportunity to make themselves hero to their people and I think he will have a strong tournament.

3) Gary Cahill - England

He was at the heart of the best defence in the Premier League and as an Englishman I expect him to carry that on this summer. Cahill made 216 clearances, 29 interceptions and 101 headers in his 30 games.

4) Thibaut Courtois - Belgium

Many expect him to be Chelsea's number 1 next season and if he performs well this summer then I can see it happening. He has had three good seasons at Atletico Madrid and will be out to make an impact on the international stage.

5) Willian - Brazil

He's quick, he's creative and is tactically sound - Willian has a big part to play for Brazil this summer and I expect him to shine amongst a strong squad.

Willian created 64 chances in his 25 games last season.
