Chelsea have finally made a big signing in the form of Timeoue Bakayoko. But Antonio Conte’s worries are far from over. As the next Premier League season comes closer, the Blues are still without a striker amongst their ranks.
Conte has already relieved Diego Costa from his duties and has told the Spaniard to find a new club. And he has also missed out on Romelu Lukaku- his primary summer target. So by the looks of it, Chelsea have to act fast as there are very few striking options left in the international market right now.
We take a look at 3 strikers that Chelsea can sign this season.
1. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Borussia Dortmund
Aubameyang is currently one of the best strikers in European football and to add to that, the Gabon International wants to leave Germany in the summer. And we hope that the Chelsea boss has heard about it.
According to a few reports though, Chelsea have already made initial inquiries about the 28-year-old as Conte is desperately trying to bring in a striker. The Dortmund player scored 40 goals for his club in just 46 games last season and will be a perfect addition to the Blues squad.
2. Alvaro Morata – Real Madrid
Morata was initially going to sign for Manchester United before the Red Devils decided to switch their attention to Lukaku. And this has left the Real Madrid player very disappointed as many claimed that a move to Manchester United was almost done.
But now Conte has a chance to sign him and rub one on United’s face. Morata might not have found his feet at Real Madrid but he is undoubtedly a wonderful talent and will pair up wonderfully with the likes of Hazard and Willian.
3. Olivier Giroud – Arsenal
Well, this one’s a last resort type of signing really. Arsenal have signed Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon and this invariably means that Giroud’s position in the first team is in serious doubt.
Reports have suggested that Giroud is looking for a new club and the like West Ham and Everton are after his services. Chelsea could easily enter the race and sign him up. The current Arsenal player is 30 years old and will definitely not be a long-term investment. But he can certainly do a patch up job for Chelsea until the club buys a new striker.
