Chelsea told to help Cristiano Ronaldo rival Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe after World Cup final

Chelsea have been urged to sign Cristiano Ronaldo on a short term contract to act as a replacement for Armando Broja. The Albanian striker was ruled out for the rest of the season following an ACL injury he picked up during a mid-season friendly against Aston Villa.

Broja has been Chelsea's third choice centre forward this season behind 33-year-old Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz too. Graham Potter did choose to start him in the last two matches before the domestic break though.

Given there is still so much of the season still to play Chelsea look short up front and will need to make January additions to address to the balance of the squad. Having previously been interested in Ronaldo following a meeting between his agent Jorge Mendes and new co-owner Todd Boehly in the summer there remains an outside chance of a deal being done.
