Whether Chelsea sign a striker or not this summer remains to be seen.
However, whichever way the pendulum swings on this one, there is no shortage of speculation linking the club with the acquisition of somebody to provide competition for the likes of Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud.
Yesterday, the name of Mauro Icardi was put forward as a potential purchase – Chelsea Linked With The Acquisition Of An Argentine Striker.
Today, somebody a little close to home gets an honourable mention with The Daily Mirror implying that Joshua King could be another name on the Chelsea wish-list.
Indeed, according to our source, the 28-year-old Bournemouth striker is a wanted man with it being claimed 4 out of the top 6 Premier League clubs are eyeing up a move for the player.
As for a price, back in January, when COVID-19 was just about to set off on its worldwide rampage, Bournemouth turned down an offer of £20 million for the player.
But, in these changing times, that figure could now be enough to swing a deal.
So, how about it, Joshua King to Chelsea anybody?

Josh King? hmmm well. l didn’t see him play as a lone striker before but I think Armado Broja should be the thi
I didn’t see Joshua king as a prolific goal scorer, if Chelsea is to challenge for trophy 🏆 next season they should look for a better striker to support Tammy
