The season-ending injury to Armando Broja might have accelerated Chelsea's search for a new striker in the January transfer window.
Chelsea confirmed in a statement on Wednesday that the Albanian has suffered a ligament injury which is expected to keep him out of action for six to seven months.
As already reported, Todd Boehly and his new recruitment team are aiming to bring in a striker in the winter once the World Cup has concluded. Although the signature of Christopher Nkunku appears to be already secured, the RB Leipzig star won't join until the summer, meaning that a more instant option will be chased.
