Chelsea and Messi is a match made in heaven. The stars are aligning and everything is pointing towards Chelsea. The Chanpions of Europe is in pole position to sign the Barca legend. Here are 6 reasons why Chelsea will end up signing the football maestro.

1. Messi follows Chelsea on Instagram and Twitter just as he follows Barcelona and Man City.

2. Chelsea style of play will fit Messi. Either he plays as a false 9 or in free role between the midfield and wings.

3. Financial fair play favours Chelsea. PSG must have to let go of one of Mbappe or Neymar to sign Messi. Man City on the other hand just signed Grealish with the No 10 shirt given to him.

4. Chelsea's pursuit of Lukaku was kept on hold by Inter following a board agreed decision to discuss fans uprising and other issues if the striker is sold. This gives Chelsea an opportuinty to rethink their transfer plans and go all out for Messi, whether Inter comes begging for Lukaku or not.

5. In 2014 Chelsea tried to sign Messi until Barca gave him a much inproved contract. Now, that the coast is clear, Roman Abramovich can ask Chelsea to seize the opportuinity.

6. Chelsea is in need of prolific goal scorer. Sending Pulisic and Odoi on loan will benefit Chelsea, both players are still young and such loan will afford them the chance to improve their game and return for the spots when Messi enventually hangs his booths. Messi is 34 years old and is the perfect short term solution for Chelsea currently.
