Romelu Lukaku is set to complete his loan transfer to Inter Milan next week after completing his medical. Chelsea desperately need a rebuild, but replacing the Belgian international may not be at the top of their priorities. Thomas Tuchel will be looking to focus on the gaps within the defence as the Blues grow closer to their targets, Matthijs de Ligt and Jules Kounde. There's also the possibility of Tuchel looking towards finding wing-back cover. All in all, a world-class striker should have to be easily accessible if the Blues are to divert their attention.
Looking within the squad, Chelsea still have two players who can occupy that striking role. One is Kai Havertz, and the other, more controversially, is Timo Werner. As it stands, Werner remains a Chelsea player. Whether or not this can change this transfer window is yet to be known.
Despite the mixed reviews for the German striker, there could be a chance of revival for his Chelsea career. Another season in the Premier League could see him unlock another level of potential that the Blues have been working towards since his arrival in 2020. Let's not forget that this player was once a 30 goals a season striker.
