Todd Boehly told to sign the 'next Zlatan Ibrahimovic' in sensational Chelsea summer transfer

Chelsea have been told to sign Aleksandar Mitrovic this summer, with Mauricio Pochettino eager to further bolster his frontline. The 28-year-old striker has been briefly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge recently following his impressive performances for Fulham.

Mitrovic, who sees his contract at Craven Cottage expire in 2026, featured 24 times for Marco Silva's side in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards 16 goals. With the Blues in the market for a new talisman, the Serbia international has been identified by many as the ideal target due to his eye for goal and combative nature.

Chelsea have struggled to replace Didier Drogba over the years, with only Diego Costa and Olivier Giroud coming close to filling the Ivorian's shoes. Several managers have experimented with Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubamyeang, but neither of which have enjoyed nearly as much success.
