In a window that was supposed to be focused on strengthening the defence, Thomas Tuchel's Blues have been linked with more attackers than they could possibly have plans for. As it stands Chelsea have lost Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger this summer. They are also on course to lose Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta to Barcelona who have registered their interest in the duo.
Losing four defenders in one window is a cause for concern, yet the Blues seem to have set their priority on a move for new forwards. Ousmane Dembele, Raheem Sterling, Raphinha, Richarlison and Ajax's Antony are just a few names linked with Chelsea in recent weeks. Lukaku is one foot out of the door with a return to Inter Milan in the works, but that still leaves a pretty packed attacking line for Thomas Tuchel to work with.
The Blues still have six other attackers to strengthen in the upcoming season, so why is there a surge of urgency to sign a forward? It is worrying to say the least that an agreement for Jules Kounde still has not been met after all this time going back and forth with Sevilla.
