Everyone at Chelsea is aware that a lack of quality finishing and therefore goals is stopping the team from taking the next step.
Chelsea have missed 79 big chances this season, the second-highest total in the Premier League.
Last summer, they looked to sign a striker but could not get a deal over the line for then-Napoli striker Victor Osimhen because of his wage demands on deadline day.
The rest of the options on the market were not considered good enough to add to what existing forward Nicolas Jackson could bring.
After a fast start to the season, Jackson has had a difficult 2025, missing two months with injury and Sunday's red card meaning his season is ending early.
