The Blues are still looking for a quality striker or two to suit the former Leicester City manager’s tactical requirements, having been closely monitoring former academy graduate Michael Olise, but the Frenchman ultimately opted to join Bayern Munich .
Having only midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester and young striker Marc Guiu from Barcelona is still considered too little compared to the requirements of the Italian strategist. Therefore, the Stamford Bridge team will still “go shopping” and here are two targets they can aim for, suggested by 90min.
1. Karim Adeyemi – Borussia Dortmund
Despite being only 22 years old, Adeyemi has been a standout performer for the Signal Induna Park side. Last season, the left-footed player impressed for Dortmund in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League. After 34 appearances, Adeyemi scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists.
It was these good performances that helped this striker born in 2002 to be called up to the German national team by coach Julian Nagelsmann. It is not surprising that many other big teams in Europe are enthusiastically pursuing him, including Chelsea .
Many sources from England said that the Stamford Bridge team is very interested in recruiting this player, because they believe that the price of 25 million pounds for Karim Adeyemi will bring a big bargain in the future. Meanwhile, Dortmund will also agree to sell if they receive the desired amount.

The 22-year-old striker is primarily a left-sided forward, but can also play in a number of attacking positions. Adeyemi would therefore bring quality depth to the Blues, while also providing competition to Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke.
Jonathan David – LOSC Lille
Chelsea’s current approach to the transfer market is to look for deals that are good value but have great potential, which is why they are interested in David – who was in fine form in Ligue 1 last season, scoring 19 goals and providing four assists in 34 appearances for Lille in all competitions.
At the ongoing Copa America 2024, Jonathan David also plays the role of main striker for the Canadian national team, playing 5 times and scoring 1 goal. The price that the French team wants to collect if selling the 24-year-old striker is about 30 million euros.
This is a figure that is considered cheap compared to the talent and great potential that David possesses. Of course, Chelsea is just one of the big clubs participating in the race to recruit the Canadian player such as Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur. Therefore, the team at Stamford Bridge needs to act faster if they do not want to lose David.
