Despite winning their third game in a row in the Premier League, the Blues still have issues up top. Last Saturday, they barely beаt Fulham.

After a disheartening 1-0 loss to Middlesbrough in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, Mauricio Pochettino’s team has struggled to find a consistent scorer throughout the season.

Summer acquisition Christopher Nkunku is still out with an ιnjury, while Nicolas Jackson is representing Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Chelsea are allegedly contemplating a short-term loan to improve their striking depth, even though the Frenchman will shortly resume first-team training.

And that man might be the next Duran for Aston Villa, if rumors are to be believed.

This season, the Colombian has scored twice for the league since joining from Chicago Fire; nevertheless, he has not started a game because to Ollie Watkins’ quality and consistency.

Unai Emery’s Villa are unlikely to let the 20-year-old depart unless they find a suitable successor, despite interest from Serie A club AC Milan.

Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney are two more players Chelsea have been eyeing, but completing a January transfer for either of them would demand a hefty sum.

The 27-year-old’s asking price at Brentford is close to £100 million, while Chelsea would have to shell out at least £112 million to activate Osimhen’s release clause in his new deal with Napoli.

‘We are reviewing the team like always,’ Pochettino stated before when asked if the club will be signing a striker in January.

Having a variety of strikers to choose from gives me hope, and when our second-line attacking players step up and score, we’ll have a better chance of winning games.
