Former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel signed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona to address Chelsea's attacking woes during the summer window. However, the Gabon international played only 59 minutes under the German manager before his sacking last month.
Tuchel's replacement, Graham Potter, has got Aubameyang firing, with the former Arsenal striker finding the back of the net three times in six appearances for the club so far.
However, as the Gabon international turned 33 this year, the Blues cannot afford to depend on him for long. Graham could look to add a new striker to his squad during the upcoming transfer window.
On that note, here's a list of three strikers Chelsea could sign during the January transfer window.
#3 Jonathan David
Jonathan David has established himself as among the most promising attackers in Europe since joining Lille from FC from Gent in the summer window of 2019. He has played 86 league games for the French club so far, registering 37 goals and five assists.
The Canada international is currently leading the race for Ligue 1's Golden Shoe after finding the back of the net nine times in 11 appearances so far. As per GOAL, the Ligue 1 club are open to selling the Canada international for a transfer fee of around €60 million.
However, HITC reports that Chelsea will face competition from Arsenal to sign him, who have also shown an interest in the Canadian in recent weeks.
#2 Victor Osimhen
Napoli's Osimhen is currently among the most talented attackers in Europe. He has played 57 league games for the Naples outfit so far, scoring 27 goals. The Nigeria international won the Seria A 'Best Young Player of the Season' accolade last term.
Osimhen is an explosive attacker who is known for his pace dribbling and finishing skills. He has played six Serie A games this season, registering three goals and one assist. According to WhoScored, he has averaged 4.8 shots, 1.2 key passes and 0.5 dribbles per 90 minutes in the league this term.
As per 90min, Chelsea are currently scouting the Nigeria international. They could make an approach to sign him during the upcoming transfer window.
#1 Rafael Leao
AC Milan's Rafael Leao is another striker linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in recent months.
The Portugal international has been a revelation since joining the Italian club from Lille in the summer window of 2019. He has played 104 league games for the Milan outfit so far, registering 27 goals and 23 assists. Leao won the Seria A 'Most Valuable Player' accolade last season.
The attacker is blessed with both pace and power, making him an excellent option for the Blues. Leao is also clinical in front of goal, scoring four times in nine league appearances so far this term.
As per Fabrizio Romano, AC Milan are currently working to extend the Portuguese's contract. It will take some persuasion from Graham Potter to bring Leao to Chelsea.

You’re still speaking carelessly. I probably know and have watched football more than you. I asked you that question for clarification instead of assuming you were talking about Jao Felix. Joa Felix and Havertz are no different in the sense that they may be used as CF but that is not their natural position. So I’m order for me not to think that you are not making sense by asking for another players who’s used or of his natural position to replace a similar player at Chelsea. I asked for clarification. You seem to only know Joa Felix. You still don’t get the point you continue to insult like a child and have been acting defensive instead of have a simple conversation. Felix is no more a success at Atletico Madrid than Havertz is at Chelsea. So I’m still wondering why you’d suggest Joa Felix as a replacement. Calm down and think a little be more before you fight
lol ok I will try to understand football now because Nigerian expert has said it

So many defensive kids on this app. A simple question and you’re sending an insult. Anyways it’s your choice to act childish. If you’re talking About Joa Felix, he’s also not a striker

Osimeh is better than Nkunku... he's a better finisher and can also dominate defender on air.
I disagree. Nkuku is technically better in my opinion but Osimehen knows how to cause a lot of problems

Leão isn't a striker he's a forward Chelsea need a killer striker and Felix is perfect for them!

Leao is a winger not a striker. Johnathan David and Victor Osimhem are good options but I prefer Christopher Nkunku
