Within the January transfer window, Chelsea are said to be seeking a central forward.

Roberto Firmino and Karim Benzema, both stars of the Saudi Pro League, have been included in Mauricio Pochettino’s roster as potential options.

Below the video, the article continues.

Just last summer, Benzema scored an incredible number of goals for Real Madrid before leaving for Al Ittihad.

While playing his last season for Real Madrid, the Frenchman netted 30 goals in 42 appearances.

Still, he’s 36 years old and showing signs of deterioration; the Blues would be better off looking elsewhere for a long-term fix.

Chelsea does not require Firmino’s style of striker, despite the fact that he is four years younger than Benzema.

The legendary Liverpool player is better at setting up teammates than creating scoring opportunities for himself.

Which striker from the Saudi Pro League would Chelsea be wise to sign?

During this month, the Blues are expected to pursue a deal with Al Hilal to acquire striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who was previously with Fulham.

Even if he was fantastic for Chelsea’s west London rivals, Mitrovic has been grossly underappreciated for a while now.

For Marco Silva’s team in the 2021–22 season, the Serb set a new record with 43 goals in the Championship.

In the Premier League last season, he scored 14 goals in 24 games, putting an end to the notion that he was unable to play.

In fact, last season’s goals per game ratio (0.58) was almost comparable to that of Ivan Toney’s (0.61), the man widely considered to have had a fantastic year.

Furthermore, Chelsea has been lacking a feisty player since Diego Costa left more than six years ago; Mitrovic would bring that quality to the team.

Both the defenders and the fans at Stamford Bridge like watching the 29-year-old striker play.
