This leaves the West Londoners with no option but to explore the market for a central striker in the summer transfer window. Although the Blues have secured a summer move for Christopher Nkunku, he is not a traditional striker. In his recent interview, he made it clear that his favorite position is close to the goal and behind the striker which is a similar role to that of Joao Felix. So that will be a one in one out situation. And CFC will have to sign a sign a striker which could arguably be the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle.

Why Victor Osimhen may be ideal at Chelsea

Napoli’s unreal campaign has brought the best out of Victor Osimhen this season. The Nigeria International has been nearly averaging a goal per 90 and has proved to be one of the most lethal strikers in the world. To be precise, he has already racked up 17 goals and 4 assists this season which has made him the top goal scorer of the season so far. The Italian side is well aware of the interest he has been generating and will want around £100m to let the striker leave who has been tied down under a contract which expires in 2025. However this would not be an area of concern for the Blues, as Boehly’s team do not might spending when required.
