Chelsea sent clear transfer message amid Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney links

Chelsea have been sent a clear message by the club’s fans when it comes to the transfer market. Amid the recent struggles to score goals for the team, Blues fans have identified the striker position as the clear area that needs addressing in the summer transfer window.

It was a quiet January transfer window for Mauricio Pochettino’s team following a year of huge expenditure. No players were signed despite the team’s struggles which has seen them slip to 11th in the Premier League table.

And scoring goals has been a clear issue for Pochettino’s team, with just 38 goals in 23 games so far this season. With summer signing Christopher Nkunku missing most of the campaign due to injury, much of the burden has fallen on Nicolas Jackson to become the team’s focal point in attack.

Cole Palmer has stepped up to the plate to become the club’s top goalscorer this season with 12 strikes in all competitions, but the club have lacked a No.9 for some time who can lead an attack that challenges for a Premier League title.

Chelsea fans have had their say on the matter, identifying the striker position as a clear area that needs attention. In a football.london poll following the January transfer window, 70% of respondents said they were unhappy with the business (or lack thereof) in January, with 63% stating that the forwards were a position of worry.
