Andre Pierre Gignac

|

Andre Pierre Gignac may not be the same calibre as some of the names who will follow him on this list, but in terms of his size, power and aerial ability, the 6 foot 1 striker is perfect for Chelsea’s direct style of football – as well as their tradition lone front-man role.

Furthermore, the 29 year-old has been in excellent goalscoring form over the last three campaigns, claiming 63 goals and eight assists in his last 122 appearances for Marseille – including 21 strikes in Ligue 1 this season.

The former Toulouse man offers experience in Europe and on the international scene with France. But perhaps most appealingly of all, he’s set to leave Stade Velodrome on a free transfer this summer when his contract expires.

The Blues wouldn’t want to depend on Gignac for long periods, but he’s certainly capable of making important cameo contributions over the course of a season.
