Graham Potter tells Todd Boehly striker transfer plan as Chelsea plot £46m move for new target

Chelsea are said to be targeting the arrival of a striker in the upcoming transfer window as Graham Potter looks to bolster his frontline, according to reports. The former Brighton boss has enjoyed an unbeaten start to life at Stamford Bridge and he's now looking to mould the squad to his philosophy.

Despite having scored 13 goals in his first six games as Blues head coach, Potter wants to sign a striker in January, according to French outlet Jeunes Footeux. The report states that former Arsenal target Jonathan David has been shortlisted and is being considered as an heir to 33-year-old Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Lille striker, who sees his deal at Stade Pierre-Mauroy expire in 2025, has featured 11 times for Paulo Fonseca's side in Ligue 1 this season, directly contributing towards 11 goals. His impressive displays once courted the interest of Mikel Arteta before the Gunners opted to sign Gabriel Jesus instead.
