Chelsea are looking for the signing of a new striker who, after all, can provide them with the guarantee of achieving the consistent goals they have been dreaming of, so here are all the goals they have partnered with.
Chelsea have spent more than £1 billion since Todd Boehly and company took the reins of Stamford Bridge in 2022. And, despite considerations about the Blues’ ability to comply with the Premier League’s sustainable benefits and skills rules, their spending is expected to increase. continue at a good pace this summer.
They have already signed centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham on a flexible transfer, while deals have been reached for Omari Kellyman and Estevao Willian for a total payment of £58m.
And they have not yet met their greatest need. After Nicolas Jackson’s struggles in front of goal last season following his £32m transfer from Villarreal, the Stamford Bridge side are reportedly looking for another, more sensible centre-forward.
They are on the verge of capturing Marc Guiu from Barcelona, but it will be a more long-term perspective and there will still be room in the team for a more veteran and proven centre-forward.
Here are all the strikers related to Chelsea this summer.
Chelsea are credited with a long-standing interest in Napoli superstar Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker has scored 76 goals in 133 games since joining Italian club Lille for €80m in 2020 and is key to their first Serie A name in 30 years under Luciano Spalletti in the 2022-23 campaign.

A less expensive option would be the one who replaced Osimhen in Lille, Jonathan David.

Solanke is said to have a £65m clause in his contract at Bournemouth.
In a move that would see the Blues borrow a valuable striker from a Premier League’s main rival, the Evening Standard claims Chelsea are preparing a coup for Manchester City star Julian Alvarez.
The flexible striker was a key cog in Pep Guardiola’s three-time winning team in 2022-23 and recorded an impressive comeback of 20 goals and thirteen assists for the Premier League champions last season.
