Chelsea have reportedly concluded that a striker is needed in the January transfer window to help Mauricio Pochettino challenge for the Premier League title. Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney have been linked with the Stamford Bridge outfit amid a struggle for goals in the first half of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite a \u00a31billion spend on new talent since the Todd Boehly-led takeover of the Blues in May 2022, Chelsea still lack an elite centre-forward. They seemingly passed on signing Harry Kane in the summer, while other targets were unavailable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicolas Jackson was signed in a \u00a330m deal from Villarreal but has picked up as many suspensions as Premier League goals this term, facing the wrath of Pochettino for his five yellow cards. Armando Broja is only just returning from a serious knee injury and scored in last week\u2019s 1-0 win over Fulham.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, reportedly Chelsea are aware that they need more firepower and will target a new striker in the January transfer window. It will seemingly be another mega-money purchase by the under-performing Blues.\u00a0<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/strong> Mauricio Pochettino forces Chelsea chief Todd Boehly into transfer U-turn[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to 90min, the Stamford Bridge hierarchy have concluded that Pochettino will not be able to realise their dream of challenging for the Premier League title without a top-quality goalscorer. Very rarely do top-flight champions lack a player of that profile.\u00a0<\/p>\n The report adds that Chelsea are among the clubs waiting for Napoli forward Osimhen to make a decision on his future. The Nigerian has been linked with an exit from the reigning Serie A winners and has a contract that expires in 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Napoli could be forced to sell soon if Osimhen decides his future lies away from Naples, otherwise they risk losing him for free in the six months before his deal runs out. There is also apparent interest from Chelsea in Brentford centre-forward Toney.\u00a0<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

According to the Independent, Chelsea are one of the clubs lining up to buy the former Newcastle man.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pochettino recently admitted that he was already scouring the market for January signings, in a clear sign that Chelsea\u2019s spending will not slow down. The Argentine plans to take a more hands-on role than he did in the summer, when he was instead focused on settling into his new job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe good thing is the relationship and communication is very good with the sporting directors and owners,\u201d Pochettino said last week. \u201cWhen the transfer window was closed I said I need to be more involved now in all the decisions.
