Chelsea are interested in Eintracht Frankfurt’s 22-year-old forward Hugo Ekitike as they bid to make at least one new signing before their Club World Cup campaign in June.
Liverpool have also been linked with the youngster as a potential replacement for Darwin Nunez, and the two Premier League giants could be set to battle it out for Ekitike's signature.
Ipswich’s Liam Delap and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko are also on Chelsea's striker shortlist, with the Blues now holding an advantage over rivals such as Manchester United by being able to offer Champions League football to those they are targeting.
