A new attacker is reportedly going to be on the agenda for Chelsea this summer, and they have added one of the most promising Premier League options to their shortlist.
While Joao Pedro has greatly impressed since joining the club, a lot of other players added over the summer have not lived up to expectations.
There are internal concerns regarding Liam Delap during his first season at the club, with it a very realistic prospect that he could be out the door again at the end of the campaign.
You can sign ONE player from Spurs if they’re relegated, who are you choosing?
Chelsea interested in Junior Kroupi
The Englishman has just one Premier League goal to his name since joining the club, nine less this season than Bournemouth’s Junior Kroupi has managed.
The youngster has impressed greatly since his move to England, and now Chelsea have seemingly taken note of his abilities.

According to the Mail Online, Chelsea are one of the Premier League giants interested in a move for Kroupi, alongside Manchester United and Liverpool.
The Frenchman was on target at the weekend to pile more misery onto Arsenal, in a game where fellow transfer target Alex Scott found the net too.

Kroupi setting records in first Premier League season
Despite it being his first season playing regularly in the Premier League, the forward has not taken long at all to hit the ground running too.
Kroupi has become the first teenager since the turn of the century to score 10+ goals in a league season, with a number of games still to go.
The player’s age perfectly suits the kind of signing Chelsea want to make. He is just 19 years of age and showing immense promise.
The Blues can be expected to have to pay big money for Kroupi if they are looking to get the deal over the line, an opportunity that may not be there if they do not qualify for the Champions League.
