WHAT HAPPENED?
Per Ornstein, Chelsea are interested in signing a new striker this summer as they seek "impact" in the market. Their top striker this season is Cole Palmer, with 14 goals, and no other player has hit double figures. As a result, the club are targeting a marquee No.9 in the window, within their recruitment process of targeting youth.

Per Ornstein, the club are interested in Ipswich Town's Liam Delap, Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike, and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. Delap has scored 12 league goals this season for a struggling Tractor Boys side; Ekitike has netted 14 league goals in the Bundesliga and Sesko has scored 11.
DID YOU KNOW?
Chelsea are also interested in signing a new winger, and Ornstein has claimed Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams is at the top of that list, with Borussia Dortmund youngster Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho also targeted. Maresca is clearly keen to reshape his entire front line.
