Chelsea have struggled to score goals this season and the Blues are keen on signing a top striker during the January transfer window.

Chelsea have been wasteful in front of goal and the Blues scored just once in September, Nicolas Jackson’s winner against Brighton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

According to the Guardian, Chelsea will look to sign a proven striker in January and have identified Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen as targets.

The Chelsea owners reportedly want the Blues to be back challenging at the top sooner rather than later. For all the talk of amortising transfer fees over long contracts, there are financial realities to dropping out of the Champions League.
