With Neymar’s arrival, here is how Chelsea is proposed to lineup against any team
The image below suggests how Chelsea is looking to have their lineup set with the arrival of Neymar from PSG.
The Blues have been linked with a move for Neymar next summer, with Paris Saint-Germain ready to listen to bids in the region of €60m according to French daily newspaper, Le Parisien.

Boehly reportedly flew to Paris on Tuesday ahead of PSG’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich to meet his Paris counterpart, Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Nerymar could prove the flagship signing Boehly craves, but where would he fit in?
A 3-4-3 system catering for all three seems likely, meanwhile. Graham Potter has used wingbacks in seven of his 16 Premier League outings this season, a back four in the other nine games, but the suspicion remains that he would prefer the former system with Reec James and Ben Chilwell fully fit.
In midfield, Enzo Fernandez has hit the ground running following his €120m arrival from Benfica. He would have Mason Mount or Mateo Kovacic for company, with Jorginho sold to Arsenal and N’Golo Kante looking like he is on the way out with injury problems.
Although Boehly has tried to institute a “Vision 2030” project at Chelsea, the side is set to be underpinned by 38-year-old Thiago Silva next season, after the evergreen Brazilian signed a one-year extension to his contract recently.
