We conclude our series of transfer polls today with the final poll for potential arrivals.
We have been asking followers to vote on who they want to see Chelsea sign this summer in three key positions. We will soon be conducting polls for potential player departures and who you would like to see sold this summer.

We have already asked you which striker and which defensive midfielder you would like to see Chelsea sign this summer, you can see the results of the striker here, and the defensive midfielder here.
Now it was the turn of the defenders, and area that could still remain a priority for Chelsea this summer due to the uncertainty and contract situations surrounding Kurt Zouma (uncertainty), Antonio Rudiger, and Andreas Christensen.
We chose four names who we believe have the strongest links to Chelsea right now, and this was quite a close poll.
After over 5,000 votes, 47% chose Jose Gimenez from Atletico Madrid, who came out on top. But he was very closely followed by Jules Kounde from Sevilla, who got 31% of the votes.
The other two on the list, Niklas Sule and Ibrahima Konate, were not popular choices.
Other strong mentions in comments were Marquinhos and Raphael Varane, but those two don’t really have strong links as of yet.
Gimenez has a big release clause of over £100 million, and Kounde perhaps doesn’t fit the bill of being a commanding centre back that Chelsea have been looking for.
However, priorities may have changed with the new manager, and this one will be interesting to watch unfold.
