Chelsea identify two new attacking targets as Mauricio Pochettino looks to bring in another striker
To improve the team’s attacking options, Mauricio Pochettino has selected fresh striker targets for Chelsea.
The Blues are actively looking into solutions to strengthen their frontline after new boss Mauricio Pochettino highlighted concerns about the team’s offensive capability for the forthcoming season.
According to the Evening Standard, the club has a shortlist of prospective striker targets that includes Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus and Elye Wahi from Montpellier.
The decision to pursue these targets has not been made in full. The team has added Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku this summer, but another attacker might join after Romelu Lukaku’s potential exit.
Chelsea’s desire to bolster their team’s potency is evident in their pursuit of more offensive options.
In order to secure a well-rounded squad for the forthcoming season, the proactive approach to identifying prospective targets has been inspired by Pochettino’s appointment as the new manager.
Recent signings by the team and current negotiations with Wahi and Vlahovic show how committed they are to keeping their competitive edge in the Premier League.
Wahi, a potential 20-year-old striker who scored an amazing 19 goals in 33 league games last season, has started talking with Montpellier.
The asking price for Dusan Vlahovic is £68 million (€79 million/$86 million). The club also has admiration for Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta and Victor Osimhen of Napoli.
Chelsea is actively looking to bolster their midfield in addition to adding fresh strikers to their squad. In that position, Moises Caicedo of Brighton continues to be the top transfer target.
