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.
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
