Former Chelsea midfielder and assistant manager Jody Morris has urged Thomas Tuchel to sign a striker this summer, claiming that Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would improve the forward ranks. It comes as the Blues continue to struggle in the final third, having done so last season.
The German coach has been tasked with changing that over the summer, with the likes of club-record signing Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner being moved on in an attempt to refresh those ranks. Raheem Sterling made the move from Manchester City. However, the lack of a natural centre-forward option remains a potential issue.
Kai Havertz has been preferred there so far, however, he is yet to comfortably take the first-team shirt in that role consistently. That was something made clear when the side were on the end of a heavy 3-0 loss to Leeds United away from home, with the forward being one of many to struggle.
