Estevao Willian will join Chelsea in the summer, while the Blues could also sign another winger for the first team in the next transfer window.
It is being reported that Chelsea want a new winger and striker in before the conclusion of June.
That could help them in their bid to win the Club World Cup, but for now, Enzo Maresca will have to be content with what he has got.
The Chelsea Chronicle has now ranked those options, so who is the best wide man at Stamford Bridge presently?

Breaking into the Chelsea first team this season, Tyrique George has not had too much time to stamp his authority on the Stamford Bridge pitch.
However, the 19-year-old has shown a lot of promise in a blue shirt and has grabbed a couple of assists recently. In the future, he could definitely become one of Chelsea‘s top wingers.

Mykhailo Mudryk‘s game has pace and directness, which is what you want to see from a wide man.
It is not always controlled, though, while the Ukrainian is sorely lacking an end product. Still suspended, Chelsea could be forced to replace Mudryk this summer.

There is a lot to like about Jadon Sancho. The England international can play on both flanks and is still fairly young at 24.
Sancho made a great start to his Chelsea career, picking up three assists in his first three games. But he has blown hot and cold under Maresca and could be sent back to Manchester United at the end of the season.
Chelsea can rip up their agreement to purchase Sancho by paying their Premier League rivals a £5m fee.
2. Pedro Neto

Pedro Neto has been one of Chelsea’s better performers of late. He scored and assisted in their 4-0 win against Southampton last month and set up Enzo Fernandez in a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa before that.
The Portuguese did all of that as a striker, but he has had some bright moments playing on the wing this term. His goal against Arsenal in November was a real piece of quality and is something supporters will want to see more of.
1. Noni Madueke

In the battle of Chelsea wingers this season, Noni Madueke is the clear winner. With seven goals to his name in the Premier League, he has outscored all of his fellow wide men.
His former manager at PSV Eindhoven Ernest Faber once described him as a “great talent” (via Sky Sports), and he has proven to be just that at times in the current campaign. Wolverhampton Wanderers fans would have to reluctantly agree after his hat-trick at Molineux.
According to TBR Football, Chelsea are actually open to selling Madueke this summer amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur. Being their best winger presently, it would be a huge mistake.
