Chelsea are being linked with every top European striker at the moment and one gets the feeling the rumors will not die down until a manager is hired and his wish list revealed or confirmed by actually signing a new deal.
Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi has been tipped to join the Blues next summer after his prolific season in the Serie A. He is considered the best striker currently in the Italian Serie A, despite not winning Scudetto like Gonzalo Higuain did with Juventus. Higuain is another player linked with a Stamford Bridge arrival in the coming summer but his age puts off Chelsea fans who think he may not be the bets option for the club.
Same argument has been made by some Chelsea fans against Robert Lewandowski, as they simple think players close to or in the their early 30s do not represent good value for their money.
Here are some of the Blues fans on Twitter ranting about the prospect of signing any of the top players this summer.
Icardi for long term. Lewandowski edges here due to European experience https://t.co/dTT9qXLr5m

Sign us Icardi rather than spending that huge on Higuain @ChelseaFC

It's not that I wouldn't take Lewandowski or Higuain but I'd much prefer we got Icardi, tbh.

Definitely Icardi, Lewandowski is so finished, dunno how people still rate him considering he’s almost 30. https://t.co/aBT5zuRxaB
