Chelsea's goalscoring problems have been longstanding and only got worse in 2022/23. The Blues hold a negative goal difference despite having one of the better defensive records in the league and have netted just 36 times this season so far.
There has been a struggle to create opportunities in the correct places and some errant shooting to ensure the Blues have struggled to convert this term. It is perhaps no surprise that a No.9 is among Chelsea's priorities in the forthcoming transfer window.
Last summer, before a late deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the west London side looked to centre their attack around the signing of Raheem Sterling. The England international joined in a £45million deal that could rise by a further £10million if a number of performance-related add-ons are met.
