Graham Potter delivers Mason Mount hint as Chelsea aim to end Man City complaint vs Southampton

Graham Potter believes that his team can score the goals required to be successful, despite Chelsea's struggles to find the net this season. The Blues fell to a 1-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League despite having he superior chances against their German opposition, and have only managed 23 goals in 22 Premier League matches this term.

Much has been made of Chelsea not making using of a natural striker, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang not making squads following the end of the transfer window and Kai Havertz proving a pretty permanent fixture leading the line. Potter has suggested that Aubameyang has every opportunity to make the side, as he continues to train well but it has yet to come to fruition.

The Blues boss acknowledges that scrutiny will come given Chelsea have spent £600million since the summer, but believes that acquiring a centre-forward is a simplistic view to take. Potter once again highlighted the signing of Romelu Lukaku as proof that it is not always so simple.
