The Blues boss was at a loss to explain how his side failed to beat Brentford, let alone came out on the losing side, after their 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge ended their unbeaten run. But Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez could prove to be the solution.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea have failed to score in three of their last four home games and Pochettino sent a public message to the board, suggesting it is an urgent issue that needs to be fixed in January after watching his side blank again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have tried to identify [the problem] but it\u2019s not only happened from the beginning of this season, it\u2019s also from last season, with different coaches,&#8221; he said after the game. &#8220;Yes, it\u2019s something we need to fix.

However, the 19-year-old would also command a massive fee after recently penning a new long-term contract with Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>But Gimenez&#8217;s asking price is said to be just \u00a340million, which would surely see him jump to the front of the queue. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says Tottenham have &#8216;eyes&#8217; on Gimenez along with Chelsea and Real Madrid, and Feyenoord may be willing to cash in on the player they signed from Cruz Azul for just \u00a35m in 2022.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5040723.jpg?r=1698699709107\"><\/p>\n<p>Gimenez is a strong and powerful striker with the ability to hold up play and find the back of the net with precise finishing. It is something Chelsea have lacked for several years, with Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner failing to provide the answer after big-money transfers.<\/p>\n<p>Nicolas Jackson has been earmarked for a bright future at Stamford Bridge, with Pochettino lauding the Senegalese as a player with &#8216;world-class&#8217; potential. Yet comparisons with Didier Drogba have only proved to be accurate when considering the Ivorian&#8217;s early struggles, as Jackson has only notched twice since his \u00a332m move.<\/p>\n<p>Armando Broja has struggled for fitness and there are concerns as to whether he can challenge Jackson for the leading role in Pochettino&#8217;s attack. But Gimenez&#8217;s record since joining Feyenoord would suggest he could be the man to turn around their season if he were to join the struggling Blues in January.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/175x108\/1695138279258.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/115x50\/1695138287743.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/affiliateswidgets\/115x50\/1695138287743.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Get access to\u00a0<em>every<\/em>\u00a0fixture on TNT Sports via your existing Prime Video app on your Smart TV, iPhone or iPad, Android or games console for just \u00a329.99.<\/p>\n<p>Everything is charged to the card saved to your Amazon account and you don&#8217;t need to sign up for a contract.
