1. Victor Osimhen (Napoli). Before buying Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea pursued Osimhen but was helpless because Napoli asked for too high a price. However, this deal may happen in the context of the relationship between Osimhen and Napoli getting worse. Osimhen no longer seems happy at Napoli when partner Khvicha Kvaratskhelia also declines in form. Tall, big, strong and sharp, Osimhen is considered a suitable striker for Chelsea like Drogba.
2. Serhou Guirassy (Stuttgart). Guirassy is causing a stir in the Bundesliga because of his amazing scoring form with 18 goals in 14 matches in all competitions for Stuttgart. He is second only to Bayern’s Harry Kane in scoring efficiency. MU is also very interested in this striker and Chelsea really needs to act quickly if they want to own the French talent.
3. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa). Ollie Watkins is at his peak, helping Aston Villa fly high on the Premier League rankings (21 goals in 23 matches). Watkins’ advantage is that he is of English origin and understands the Premier League environment very well when he is 27 years old this year. However, this is also the reason Villa can pressure Chelsea if the Blues ask to buy this striker.
4. Santiago Gimenez (Feyenoord). Gimenez is shining in the Dutch – Eredivisie tournament with 20 goals in 19 matches, including 2 hat tricks against Ajax and Excelsior. This striker is only 22 years old and has a good price, only about 35 million pounds, which could be a reason for Chelsea to take a risk.
5. Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig). Chelsea has been pursuing Sesko for a long time because they believe this is a new Haaland. In the summer of 2023, this player does not go to major tournaments like England or Spain but moves from Salzburg to Leipzig. Although in Germany, Sesko has not really excelled in scoring goals, but this player’s potential can help Chelsea continue the rejuvenation project for the future.
6. Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus). Last summer, in an effort to push Lukaku away, Chelsea wanted to recruit Vlahovic before being made difficult by Juventus because the price was too high. At this time, when Vlahovic is showing signs of decline (scoring 1 goal in the last 9 matches), Juve may go downhill and Chelsea is likely to buy Vlahovic at a more reasonable price to improve the attack.
