I think an on form Kovacic is better than any of our current CMs. That's not to say I don't like our current CMs but Kovacic has a higher ceiling than any of them.To each his own, I suppose. I don't think any of them "walk" into our side ahead of Hojbjerg and Bentancur.
Kante - old and injured.
Kovacic - decent, would be good competition for Bentancur - but is not obviously better, and is not industrious enough to replace Hojbjerg.
Jorginho - also 30+, and also one to compete with Bentancur, but again, is not industrious enough to play the position that Conte wants.
Kante is a weird one as he's amazing on his day but he's only fit about 40% of the time.
Jorginho is amazing at some things but extremely irritating at others. I don't think he'd be a good fit for a Conte side at all.
Overall, I think I'd rather have our set of CMs as they suit Conte and are younger, but as individuals, all of Chelsea's are more naturally talented.
