Chelsea have displayed a decisive approach in the transfer market this summer, making significant moves to strengthen their squad. The club has successfully secured the signings of highly regarded players such as Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku. Alongside these additions. Chelsea has also been proactive in offloading players who are deemed surplus to requirements, effectively clearing out the deadwood from their squad. This assertive and strategic approach demonstrates Chelsea’s commitment to building a formidable team for the upcoming season.
However, next season, there is expectation to be a competitive battle between Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson to become Mauricio Pochettino’s primary striker at Chelsea. However, there is also a possibility that both players could find a place in the team. With the anticipated departures of Romelu Lukaku, Hakim Ziyech, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Pochettino would have Noni Madueke, Armando Broja, Raheem Sterling, and Mykhailo Mudryk. As additional attacking options to consider.
Moreover, while signing another forward could be a wise move, Chelsea must be cautious not to invest heavily in a player who demands consistent game time. Such a scenario could lead to disharmony within the squad, as seen in the previous season. As the rumors linking Chelsea with Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic persist. ESPN reports that the club is also keeping tabs on Elye Wahi, a highly-rated center-forward from Montpellier.
Chelsea and their desires

Being involved in more goals. According to The Analyst. Wahi ranks in the top 11% of all forwards across Europe’s top five leagues for goals scored last season, a remarkable achievement for such a young player.
