Top5 - Number 3: Alvaro Pereira (Inter)

Now a name you will sure to have heard of - Alvaro Pereira. The Inter man is possibly the perfect fit for the Ashley Cole-shaped hole that will be gaping if Chelsea's fears come true. The Uruguay international is accustomed to either left-back or left-wing is a major factor to whether or not a team plays well. You may think that it is an overstatement to suggest that on occasions the Inter team's heartbeat is on the left wing, but he is that type of player.

His positioning is second-to-none and gives him the freedom to exploit the gaps behind opponent's backline and drill delicious crosses to his strikers.

He is currently in his first season with Inter but he has never been one to stick around at a club. His 72 appearances with Porto eclipse the amount of played games for any other club he has been at, and even that was split over just 3 years.

With 44 caps for his country - Uruguay - you can forgive Chelsea fans desperately wanting to get him over to the capital in time for next season.
