Chelsea is actively seeking a top-tier striker to bolster their position in the Premier League standings and alter the trajectory of a club struggling to reclaim a spot in the top six. Despite significant investments in the forward line, including Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku, the team continues to face challenges in that area. To address this, Chelsea has compiled a list of potential summer signings, with TEAMtalk offering exclusive insights into their targets.
Leading the list is Victor Osimhen from Napoli, considered by many within the club as the ideal striker for Chelsea. Efforts to persuade Osimhen to join Chelsea have been ongoing, although competition from PSG and Arsenal remains a factor.
Another prospect is Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, a player Chelsea has closely monitored and considers a promising talent. There is speculation that Sesko could be one of two strikers brought in during the summer transfer window, with the club prepared to spend significantly following a restrained January transfer period.
Victor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon has also caught Chelsea’s attention with his stellar performances since leaving Coventry City. While not the primary target currently, Gyokeres could move up the priority list if negotiations with Osimhen falter.
Ivan Toney of Brentford has been on Chelsea’s radar since last season, but interest was put on hold due to disciplinary issues. Despite competition from Arsenal and potential concerns about his age and price, Toney’s Premier League experience makes him an attractive option for Chelsea.
Finally, Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen is having an outstanding season in the Bundesliga. While there are rumors linking him with a move to Liverpool, Chelsea remains interested in the striker as a potential addition to their squad.
