Chelsea looking to sign new top striker in January; Osimhen & Toney identified as top transfer targets

Osimhen and Toney are Chelsea’s top target

According to the article, Chelsea have identified Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Ivan Toney of Brentford as possible candidates for guiding the attack for the Blues, who have scored just 26 goals in their first 16 Premier League games this campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur’s involvement has Chelsea considering cutting ties with midfielder Conor Gallagher in January, according to the Daily Mail.

With just 18 months remaining on his Stamford Bridge contract and no indication of an extension for the England international, Chelsea may try to make Gallagher’s departure easier in January.

According to the site, the West London team is finding it difficult to adhere to Premier League spending regulations, and the Blues are wary of being forced into protracted talks with Gallagher that would reduce his value.

If Gallagher becomes available, rivals Tottenham are reportedly interested in making a deal; the midfielder came dangerously close to joining Spurs last summer.

With 18 appearances across every league and four assists, the Cobham graduate has been a mainstay within new Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino’s team this season.

However, Chelsea are eager to expand their attacking options, and the hope is that by transferring Gallagher, money will be made accessible to acquire a high-profile forward.

According to a report by Fabrizio Romano, Armando Broja, a striker for Chelsea, is not thinking about joining the Turkish Super Lig.

It is said that several rival Premier League clubs, as well as Turkey, are showing interest in signing Broja. Broja has appeared in nine appearances for Chelsea in all competitions this year and has scored one goal, but the Blues are eager to reconcile the books, therefore he might be traded this winter.
