Chelsea can sign £1.7m transfer bargain in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang repeat and see off Arsenal

Chelsea are moving quickly to bolster their attacking department but they are still behind on that front after Armando Broja's long-term injury. The Albanian was stretchered off in a friendly against Aston Villa last week and will now miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury.

For Chelsea this leaves them with just two strikers, though Kai Havertz's suitability to the role is still questionable. Graham Potter has an opportunity to revamp and start to mould his own squad next month though and that could see the first new signings of his era.

Christopher Nkunku is expected to join in 2023 but his pre-agreement won't be active until the summer when he officially joins, whereas David Fofana from Molde - another expected deal - is only 19. This leaves the Blues still short in the forward department, especially with the possibility that Hakim Ziyech will still exit the club, despite his impressive World Cup. Meanwhile, Christian Pulisic is open to offers as well if a replacement comes in.
