CHELSEA DRAW UP FIVE-MAN STRIKER SHORTLIST
Chelsea have five players on their striker shortlist, according to the Evening Standard.
The paper reports that Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon, and FC Copenhagen’s Roony Bardghji are the new names on the list.
The club are keen on adding some physicality to their forward line and are making plans ahead of the January transfer window.
The paper writes: “Chelsea have added Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres and FC Copenhagen’s Roony Bardghji to a five-man striker shortlist, as they plot a move for a new frontman in January.
“Mauricio Pochettino has suggested Chelsea need to spend again to boost their firepower and he wants a targetman-style forward to add height, physicality and goals to his team.
“Gyokeres, a 6ft 2in Sweden international who has scored 15 goals in 18 matches for Sporting this season after moving to Portugal from Coventry last summer, fits that profile. The 25-year-old has an £87 million release clause.
“Napoli’s 6ft 1in forward Victor Osimhen is also high on the Chelsea wishlist, while they also have interest in Brentford’s Ivan Toney who is the same height.”
