Pochettino Searches For A “Perfect” First Pick For Chelsea’s Striking Force, Naming Five High-Profile Candidates.
Chelsea is on the prowl for a top striker, aiming to climb the Premier League table and rejoin the league’s elite. Despite previous investments like Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku, their forward line continues to underperform.
According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea has shortlisted several summer transfer targets to address this concern. Topping the list is Victor Osimhen of Napoli, considered their ideal candidate. Negotiations are underway, but competition from PSG and Arsenal complicates the situation.
Another name on the list is Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig. Chelsea sees him as a promising talent and might even bring in two strikers this window, potentially spending big after a quiet January.
Victor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon has impressed since leaving Coventry City, raising Chelsea’s interest. While not the top priority currently, he could become more crucial if negotiations with Osimhen stall.
Ivan Toney of Brentford remains an option despite previous concerns about his discipline. His Premier League experience makes him a valuable prospect, although Chelsea faces competition from Arsenal and needs to consider his age and price tag.
Finally, Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen is another interesting option. Though rumored to be eyed by Liverpool, Chelsea hasn’t ruled him out as a potential addition to their squad.
With the summer transfer window approaching, Chelsea’s pursuit of a top striker promises to be an intriguing saga. Whether they land their ideal target or unearth a hidden gem, this transfer will significantly impact their future trajectory.
