Chelsea's long-desired need for a new number nine at Stamford Bridge continues to be an issue. Despite spending over £600 million on new signings in the last two transfer windows, the position remains a problem.
Goals have been one of many stumbling blocks faced by Graham Potter since replacing Thomas Tuchel. The Blues have scored the fewest amount of goals in the Premier League's top 11 (29 goals) and have only scored more than two goals on just three occasions this season - twice against AC Milan.
Kai Havertz's role within Chelsea's set-up means they often play without an out-and-out number nine to take up positions inside the penalty box and whose primary responsibility is to score goals. Joao Felix's loan move from Atletico Madrid has provided an alternative option in the final third but he has frequently played as an inside forward.
