Chelsea legend Pat Nevin believes the Blues' business leading up to deadline day was a great success and should propel them to a top four finish in the Premier League.
Nevin said the arrivals of David Luiz and Marcos Alonso addressed Chelsea's area of greatest need - the defence - and should see them secure a Champions League place.
'Let me make this crystal clear, I reckon we should cruise into the top four this season with a fair wind behind us and no mad injury crises,' Nevin wrote in his column on the Chelsea web site.
