Mauricio Pochettino will likely sign a striker towards the end of the summer transfer window if Chelsea end up deciding a new attacking addition is needed. The Blues have already welcomed Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson to the club this summer but currently remain in the market for another option.
Scoring goals was a significant issue for Chelsea in the 2022/23 campaign with no player reaching double figures. Kai Havertz was often deployed at the tip of attack, but he has since completed a £65million move to Arsenal where Mikel Arteta is expected to play him in an advanced midfield role.
Romelu Lukaku is set to return to Cobham in the coming days, but he is pushing hard for a permanent exit and return to Inter. The Belgian striker spent last season on loan now both parties want him to return to the club he initially joined Chelsea from in 2021.
