It will be very interesting to see what Chelsea do this summer in their search for a consistent striker.
The Blues need an elite option, but their whole model since the new ownership came in has been based around buying young talent.
There simply aren’t any player 22 or under out there who are also established, sure fire successes to bring in up top.
So there’s a general expectation that those at the top will break their pattern slightly to get someone a little older in – whether that’s Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen or any of the other options linked to us.
One that’s raised constantly in Italy is Paulo Dybala. The Roma striker could be looking for a way out of the Italian capital according to TuttoMercatoWeb, and he has a tempting €13m release clause.
Could that be what tempts the co-sporting directors to break their pattern? Getting a striker that cheap almost makes it worth the risk.
