According to the Evening Standard, the club has a shortlist of prospective striker targets that includes Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus and Elye Wahi from Montpellier.

The decision to pursue these targets has not been made in full. The team has added Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku this summer, but another attacker might join after Romelu Lukaku’s potential exit.

Chelsea’s desire to bolster their team’s potency is evident in their pursuit of more offensive options.

In order to secure a well-rounded squad for the forthcoming season, the proactive approach to identifying prospective targets has been inspired by Pochettino’s appointment as the new manager.

Recent signings by the team and current negotiations with Wahi and Vlahovic show how committed they are to keeping their competitive edge in the Premier League.

Talks have commenced with Montpellier regarding Wahi, a promising 20-year-old striker who scored an impressive 19 goals in 33 league games last season. Dusan Vlahovic is also available at a price of £68 million (€79m/$86m). The club’s other admired strikers include Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund.

Chelsea is actively looking to bolster their midfield in addition to adding fresh strikers to their squad. In that position, Moises Caicedo of Brighton continues to be the top transfer target.
