Chelsea have reportedly lined up a stunning £50million bid for Paris Saint-Germain's record goalscorer Edinson Cavani to solve their problems in front of goal.
Despite scoring a brace against Championship side Nottingham Forest in Chelsea's third round FA Cup victory, it's fair to say that Alvaro Morata has fallen short of expectations and his staggering £70million price tag.
The former Real Madrid forward has never looked settled in west London and could be in line for a move back to Spain with Sevilla refusing to rule out a move. Morata is understood to be keen on a move back to La Liga where he would hope to regain his form.
Maurizio Sarri has tried a number of solutions to improve Chelsea's efficiency in front of goal even moving Eden Hazard into a false nine position. While it has proved effective, the Italian is looking for a more permanent solution.
The Daily Express suggest Sarri is keen to bring in the Uruguyan to get the Blues firing again along with Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella for an additional £45million.
Despite sitting fourth in the Prmier League, Chelsea have managed just 38 goals across 21 matches in the Premier League this season. Five fewer than sixth place Manchester United who struggled for goals under former Blues boss Jose Mourinho.
Chelsea have been linked with a number of strikers including Gonazolo Higuain and Callum Wilson, but Cavani appears to be Sarri's ultimate target in the January transfer window.
The PSG forward has already scored 10 goals in just 11 Ligue 1 appearances this season and is one of just three players to net more than 100 times in two of Europe's top five leagues.
Despite facing competition from Neymar and Kylian Mbappe for a starting role in the French side, the 31-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down in front of goal.
Chelsea could face competition for Cavani from China with a number of clubs reportedly prepared to offer a huge sum for him to make the move. However, Chelsea have never been shy with their wages and the challenge of the Premier League could prove more enticing.
