Chelsea has now turned attention towards Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud.
Why the need for a new striker?
Antonio Conte is scouring the transfer market to find a second choice striker ahead of Michy Batshuayi. The Belgian has fallen out of favour with Conte and is also being linked with multiple European clubs. Batshuayi has racked up a decent tally of 10 goals in 24 appearances this season but still cannot pick up second string minutes in the cup competitions.
Alvaro Morata’s arrival to the Stamford Bridge has faced a shaky period in recent weeks. The Spaniard’s £58m price tag looked like a bargain when he started off the season in scintillating form netting the ball 9 times in the early stages of the campaign. But the tide has shifted and so has Morata’s run of form with the former Galactico missing out on clear-cut opportunities.
While the fans at the Bridge are venting over their displeasure with the number nine, Conte is trying to find a replacement or at least a support figure to Eden Hazard for the final stretch of the season.
