A Chelsea Striker Conundrum That’s Just Begging To Be Unravelled

|

Apart from the recent signing of Jorginho, Chelsea have been pretty relaxed in the summer transfer window.

Hopefully, with the transfer window open for just over another week, the club will now move swiftly to tie up any loose ends and bring to Stamford Bridge the targets Maurizio Sarri has identified.

One such target, according to the popular tabloid publication, the Daily Star, remains the Bayern Munich centre-forward, Robert Lewandowski.

Indeed, the 29-year-old Polish international has had the pleasure of being described as Sarri’s top summer target.

However, if Lewandowski does leave the Bavarian club, it is also suggested that Chelsea will have to persuade the player that West London is a better career option than Real Madrid, which, we believe, would be quite a challenge.

We’re also of the opinion a move for Lewandowski would, quite probably, be funded by the sale of our record signing Alvaro Morata.

Elsewhere, continuing on the striker front, it is being reported by the news vehicle, the Sun, that our Belgian striker, Michy Batshuayi, has been told by Sarri that he still has a future at the club despite apparent interest from Crystal Palace and the Spanish outfit Valencia.

Batshuayi, 24-years-of-age, spent the second half of the season loan at Borussia Dortmund where he was enjoying a good spell until it was rudely interrupted by an ankle injury.

Continuing, our World Cup-winning striker, Olivier Giroud, is another who is keen to remain at the club.

According to the news source, the Daily Mail, Giroud is keen to fight for his place despite having talks with the French club Marseille.

And, we should point out that the future of Tammy Abraham, who spent last season on loan at Swansea City has still to be determined, here at Vital Chelsea, we suspect another loan spell beckons for the young England international.

As you can see, there’s still a lot up in the air when it comes to the striking positions at Chelsea Football Club, has anyone any idea how it might pan out?
