Chelsea are reportedly confident of signing a striker who has scored 40 goals in 81 since joining his club in what could be a wild transfer move.
New head coach Liam Rosenior has just started his role at Chelsea, and we are already hearing transfer rumours about alleged players he wants to sign.
EXCLUSIVE! The truth about the Chelsea FC project!
It’s only natural that we will be looking into opportunities, and I am sure that Rosenior will be asked his opinion on the current squad and what it might need in order to fully compete at the very top again.
The former Strasbourg boss took his first training session with Chelsea yesterday, so he would have been keeping a keen eye on any positions that he feels he might need to add.
And maybe one area that the new boss feels he needs to strengthen as and when they can, is the striker position.
Neither Liam Delap or Joao Pedro have really banged yet as such, and truly nailed down that 9 role as their own – so it might be something the club will look at.

Chelsea are reportedly preparing to offer as much as €150m for the transfer of Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez in the summer.
According to Fichajes, Chelsea are confident of winning the race for Alvarez due to the fact that he might be tempted to return to English football.
Bangs the goals in
Alvarez has proven to be a prolific goal scorer, having scored a total of 40 goals in 81 games since joining Atletico Madrid from Manchester City.
He would be a decent signing for Chelsea. However, I’m not sure anyone should get carried away here due to the fee quoted, and the source of the info not being the best. Let’s see what happens.
