Chelsea will recruit a star striker this summer from Conor Gallagher’s selling money to Atletico Madrid. Chelsea is failed to find a new number nine to spearhead their assault, even though they have been connected with many attackers since the start of the window. According to a Football Insider analysis, the money Gallagher’s sale generates will let the Blues attract a well-known attacker before the window ends.
Having been a regular member of Chelsea’s first squad last season, Gallagher had an unclear future as his contract ran for just 12 months. Atletico Madrid worked hard for his services and finally came to terms with Chelsea as well as the player. The sale of their academy graduate is expected to bring up over £34 million for the London team. Chelsea will not sign a replacement for Gallagher as their midfield is already well-covered. Rather, they will spend the money to get a fresh number nine, which comes first given the opening window.
Chelsea Are Set To Use Their Funds To Sign This Star Striker
For Chelsea, last season turned out not as expected. One major problem was not having a confirmed goal scorer. In the latter third the Blues mostly depended on Cole Palmer. The first-team consists of Marc Guiu, Armando Broja, and Nicolas Jackson, although none of them are judged competent to spearhead the attack. Still under contract, Romelu Lukaku is poised to complete a transfer elsewhere having spent the previous two seasons on loan. Chelsea seeks a top-notch striker who can lead the line, score goals, and be Enzo Maresca’s go-to guy.
Among their first objectives is Victor Osimhen from Napoli. A complete deal looks far off even as negotiations with the Serie A team are still under progress. Since the outset, Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion has been under observation; Chelsea has been acting recently to get him. Though Jhon Duran of Aston Villa was among their sights, Chelsea has pulled out from that contest.
Chelsea’s search for a star forward reveals their will to solve their offensive problems. The Blues have an opportunity to recruit a player who might have a big influence with the money Gallagher sold. Still, it’s never simple to find a great striker, so Chelsea has to move fast and forcefully to prevent another season of challenges. There is pressure on; the time is running.
