An update on the striker situation
Chelsea are in a bit of a limbo situation right now when it comes to knowing what to do about getting a new striker.
The club are aware that this is one of the most important decisions that they get spot on this summer, and they know the need to bring in a top quality goal scoring number nine is a hugely important need. This is why they are seriously considering all potential options.

However, it might only stay as a dream this summer due to the asking price that Napoli will set. I’m not ruling it out, but to me this always has looked very unrealistic.
