Chelsea’s transfer plans are set to be impacted by whether they qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Right now, Liam Rosenior’s side are in sixth place in the Premier League table, which is not where they want to be.
The good news is that the Blues are only one point behind Liverpool in fifth and have the chance to beat them next month when they travel to Anfield.

Ahead of the summer transfer window, two players who are thought to be on Chelsea’s shortlist are Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton.
Journalist Simon Phillips has claimed on Si Phillips Talks Chelsea that Rogers and Wharton are two of the club’s “biggest” wants.
However, according to Phillips, Chelsea will have to qualify for the Champions League to have any hope of signing the two England stars.

It was recently reported that Rogers thinks it is the right time to leave Villa, which is good news for Chelsea.
There will be a lot of competition for both him and Wharton, though, so being able to offer Champions League football really could be imperative.

In their positions, Rogers and Wharton are two of the best players in the Premier League.
The former is a very good attacking midfielder who is able to run with the ball and score goals, including from long distances.
As for the latter, he is a really talented No.6 who can dictate play and break up attacks. If Chelsea sign both Rogers and Wharton, that will set them up for a brilliant summer transfer window.
They need to solve their goalkeeper problem and could also do with an experienced central defender, so Rogers and Wharton alone will not be enough. But both men will certainly improve Rosenior’s squad.
It looks like Chelsea will have to qualify for the Champions League, though, if they want to bring them to Stamford Bridge this summer.
