Chelsea 'offered' chance to sign Ousmane Dembele alternative if they fail with main transfer bid

Chelsea have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Manchester City's Raheem Sterling as an alternative to Barcelona's Ousmane Dembélé, who is seen as their primary target with the summer transfer window opening approaching.

Chelsea's attack stuttered during 2021/22 with not enough goals being scored by the likes of club record signing Romelu Lukaku, with the other forward players also struggling to find the back of the net. This is one of the reasons why the Blues fell so off the pace at the top of the Premier League from December onwards with Liverpool's and Man City's attacking trios outscoring their London counterparts.

However, new attacking signings are not expected through the door this summer unless space is freed up in the current squad, football.london understands.
