Chelsea’s summer transfer window priorities have been revealed, with a new striker and winger at the top of the club’s wishlist.
The Blues’ struggles in the final third were evident in their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, highlighting the need for reinforcements.
Striker Options: Alexander Isak and Victor Osimhen
Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Chelsea are eyeing a new striker, with Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen emerging as potential targets.
Isak’s impressive form, with 19 goals in the Premier League, makes him a attractive option.
However, his reported price tag of over £100m could be a stumbling block.
