Chelsea do not seem to shy away from spending as Fabrizio Romano confirms the Blues gave their eyes set on a new striker.

Football transfers expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea is actively pursuing another striker, with Colombian talent John Duran at the top of their wish list.

Despite having a stacked front line, the Blues are looking to enhance their attacking options further.

Currently, Chelsea boasts notable forwards like Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku, both of whom have been instrumental in the team’s recent successes.

Jackson has emerged as a key player, scoring two vital goals in the impressive 3-0 victory away at West Ham last weekend.

Meanwhile, Nkunku showcased his striking prowess in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, where he netted a stunning hat trick, leading Chelsea to a commanding 5-0 win. Together, Jackson and Nkunku have already combined for an impressive five goals this season, demonstrating their potential as a formidable partnership.

However, despite these promising performances, Chelsea's management is not resting on its laurels.

The interest in John Duran indicates their commitment to bolstering the squad. The young striker has been turning heads with his performances in the Premier League and could add another dynamic element to Chelsea's attack.

With a busy schedule ahead including domestic league fixtures and cup competitions having additional options at striker could prove invaluable.

The pursuit of Duran suggests that Chelsea is looking to enhance their attacking depth to remain competitive at the highest level.

Romano's insights have set the stage for an intriguing transfer window, with all eyes on Stamford Bridge as Chelsea seeks to strengthen their squad and challenge for silverware this season.
