Chelsea Aims to Sign Young Strikers This Summer To Score More Goals
Chelsea are already making moves to strengthen their attack ahead of the summer transfer window, with a three-man shortlist of strikers in sight.
While Napoli’s Victor Osimhen has been frequently linked with the club, The Athletic’s David Ornstein did not include the Nigerian forward among Chelsea’s top targets.
Instead, the focus is on three young talents: Liam Delap, Benjamin Sesko, and Hugo Ekitike. Between them, they’ve netted 53 goals this season, with Ekitike leading the pack.
Chelsea’s push for a new striker isn’t surprising. The team has struggled in front of goal throughout the season, often failing to convert key chances. Despite Cole Palmer being the club’s top scorer with 14 goals, he hasn’t scored in his last 13 games.
Competition for these strikers is expected to be tough. Delap has caught the eye of Manchester United. Also, Sesko is being tracked by Arsenal, and Liverpool have shown interest in Ekitike. Still, Chelsea remain confident they can land one of the three to boost their frontline.
Currently sitting fifth in the Premier League, Chelsea are still in the race for a Champions League spot. They are also out for a reliable striker who could make all the difference next season.
Manchester United have released a list of players who are expected to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
A statement from the club listed the players as Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Sonny Aljofree, James Bailey, and Malachi Sharpe.
It was noted that Casemiro enjoyed a strong season at the club and built an excellent reputation during his time with the team.
Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia made 50 first-team appearances for Manchester United during his spell at the club.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.
The list includes star players Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté. While some players are leaving, others have been offered new contracts.
The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
