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 footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
