The West London club have signed Đorđe Petrović from New England Revolution, as regards transfer news this summer. The Blues don’t want to settle for less this season.
Of course, the club have to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga, who recently joined Real Madrid on loan. And they are looking forward to signing more new players.
Followed by Carney Chukwuemeka and Christopher Nkunku’s injury woes. Chelsea have decided to sign a new attacker this summer transfer window.
Apparently, the Blues missed a creative No.10 against West Ham United on Sunday. Therefore, they want to boost their frontline before the deadline day.
At the moment, only Ian Maatsen can play as an attacking midfielder. Of course, despite being a left-back, he played the No.10 role successfully during their USA pre-season tour.
Meanwhile, Carney Chukwuemeka will be on the sidelines for six months. While Christopher Nkunku will also be unavailable for several months.
As a result, the West London club cannot leave the No.10 position empty this season. So they want to sign a new attacking player this summer transfer window.
Reportedly, Mauricio Pochettino’s side has identified four players to boost their attack this season. It’s most likely to happen before the deadline day next week.
The Blues have identified Folarin Balogun of Arsenal to equip their frontline. Of course, the American striker is reportedly ready to leave the Gunners.
According to Dailymail, Balogun is open to joining the West London club. As a result, he’s most likely to arrive at Stamford Bridge this campaign, as per transfer news.
Also, the Blues have set their gaze on Brennan Johnson of Nottingham Forest. They reportedly want the player to be Nicolas Jackson’s backup this season.
The Senegalese central-forward is enough for Chelsea. However, they cannot rely on only him, since Armando Broja may leave Stamford Bridge this summer on loan.
Therefore, Brennan Johnson of Nottingham Forest is also linked to the Blues. Of course, the striker is reportedly appreciated by Mauricio Pochettino.
In addition, Chelsea are still keeping tabs on Mohamed Kudus of Ajax. The Ghanaian midfielder has been on the Blues radar regarding transfer news this summer.
The Premier League side were close to signing Michael Olise from Crystal Palace. However, they have revived their interest in Kudus, because of his creativity.
The Ghanaian star boy is linked with many clubs in the Premier League. The likes of Brighton Albion and West Ham United heavily interested in him this summer.
Nevertheless, Mohamed now back on Chelsea’s radar. As the West London club looks forward to boosting their attack before deadline day next week.
Finally, Bradley Barcola of Lyon is also being considered, as per transfer news. The French youngster is also open to joining the Premier League side.
Barcola attracts interest from many European clubs. Surprisingly, he’s one of the offensive players on the Blues list to bolster their attack this campaign.
Simply put, Chelsea have identified Balogun, Kudus, Brennan, and Bradley to boost their attack this season. They want two more new players after the signing of Petrović.
