Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney should move in the summer but Chelsea want a striker NOW... and could plump for a Bundesliga star in ruthless form or return to former Serie A target
Daily MailMauricio Pochettino was loath to heap criticism on the players that featured for Chelsea's miserable 1-0 defeat against Middlesbrough in the first-leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, but when reviewing the tie, there was one aspect of their performance where he refused to mince words. Here, Mail Sport runs the rule over potential options who could make the move - and transform the west London club's fortunes for the remainder of the season. Much like potential target Ivan Toney, the price tag attached to Gyokeres could see him brought to Stamford Bridge in the summer off the back of player sales at the club to fund the move. It would also make for a poignant return - Solanke started in Chelsea's under-nine side and stayed at the club until 2017, although he made no senior appearances for the Blues despite making the bench a handful of times. Ivan Toney remains a priority target for a number of Premier League sides as he prepares to return to action Serhou Guirassy Currently preparing for AFCON with Guinea, the Bundesliga forward has been eye-wateringly efficient in front of goal this season, and was the striker to bring his current form to Chelsea, Guirassy could well transform the Blues' campaign.
