Athletic: Chelsea want two more attacking signings even after Samu Omorodion

Chelsea reportedly want TWO more attacking signings before the window is over, and that is even after the expected arrival of striker Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid.

Those of you that subscribe to my Substack website would have already know this anyway, with my report on it yesterday morning.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea will make SECOND Oscar Bobb approach, closing on Grabriel Mec!!

So as far as I am aware, this latest report from The Athletic backing up what I have said, is 100% and is the intentions from Chelsea right now.

They say that even after Omorodion arrives, Chelsea want another new centre forward, and another winger.

Athletic Podcast

The information was put out on the latest Athletic podcast, as cited by a Chelsea aggregator on X as seen above.

Liam Twomey of The Athletic said:

‘Samu Omorodion is coming in as a second or third choice option to compete / cover with Nicolas Jackson because The Athletic has been told Chelsea want TWO more attacking signings. They would like the number 9 to be Victor Osimhen and they would like a wide forward/winger, I think operating from the left.’

Some might be more concerned about the Chelsea defence rather than the attack, but the reality is that both need additions/addressing in my opinion.

Chelsea should push for an established striker like Osimhen to lead the line in one of the most important positions on the pitch. And they absolutely need a new winger as well, with the current options just not being good enough over all, especially if Cole Palmer is going to be playing more centrally.
