5 realistic striker options Chelsea should chase this summer

2.   Randal Kolo Muani

As a forward, Randal Kolo Muani is about as complete as they come. In his debut season with Eintracht Frankfurt, the French striker emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting strikers, scoring 15 goals along with 14 assists.

As his stats suggest, Muani is not your traditional goal scoring striker, possessing unparallel technical ability for his position. The 24-year-old is incredibly quick and deadly in open space, using his dribbling ability to cruise past defenders and supply his teammates. In addition, his pace allows him to make great runs in behind and into the box putting himself in the right positions to score.

While Muani has been great this season. this is his breakout campaign at 24. It is almost impossible to determine how his final output will translate in a tighter Premier League. Timo Werner is a player that was viewed as having the same diverse skillset as a forward like Kolo Muani but as recent memory serves Chelsea fans, the German failed to truly hit the ground running in blue.

Another hindrance to Muani’s purchase would be the price tag. Eintract Frankfurt CEO values the French international at over 90 million euros and at that hefty price, the club cannot afford another striker flop. Yet, if with time his valuation reaches a considerable fee, a player of his versatility up top could immensely help the Blues front line next season.
