Chelsea look set to dip into the transfer market for a new striker signing in January. Armando Broja's season is over after he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament during a friendly against Aston Villa.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz have both struggled for form in front of goal this season meaning Graham Potter has a problem on his hands. Todd Boehly was always set to back Potter with new signings in January, but now a new striker has emerged as a priority after Broja's injury.
The Blues have been scouting Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix this season but interest in the Portuguese forward remains tentative at this stage, football.london understands. Felix's teammate, Matheus Cunha, has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League rivals Wolves, but Chelsea could look to hijack a deal after being offered the chance to sign the Brazilian.
