Could these three top-class defenders finally replace this Chelsea legend?

Marquinhos

Although he’s been shifted to right-back at PSG, Marquinhos is still considered one of the best young defenders in Europe. The Brazilian cannot break in at centre-half for the French champions because of David Luiz and Thiago Silva, but he would waltz straight into the Chelsea defence.

You don’t have to defend too much in the PSG back-line, but Marquinhos has still managed to record three tackles per 90 minutes in the Champions League and built himself a reputation as a clean-tackling defender in both Ligue 1 and Europe.
