Chelsea could try to recruit a new striker during the winter transfer window.

Despite numerous and immense investments during the 2023 summer transfer window, Chelsea still can’t get on top of the Premier League. Despite two consecutive successes on Boxing Day, the Blues remain stuck in 10th place in the standings and are 10 points behind fifth place occupied by Tottenham.

A new striker for the Blues?

Once again, Todd Boehly and his teams seem to think that new investments are necessary. The winter transfer window officially open, Chelsea would like to offer themselves a striker, as indicated Sport And The Sun. Author of eight goals in 23 matches, Nicolas Jackson is not entirely satisfactory and could well see another number 9 compete with him in January.

In addition to Victor Osimhen, who extended his contract to Naples, Chelsea would also have ticked off the names of Ivan Toney (Brentford), who would cost 117 million euros, Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting) and Roony Bardghji (Copenhagen). But ultimately, the most concrete track could be the one leading to the Girona striker Artem Dovbyk. Like his club, surprising 2nd in La Liga, the Ukrainian international is having a very good season with 11 goals and 5 assists in 17 league matches. Enough to attract Chelsea, who could soon offer a first offer worth 45 million euros.
