Chelsea are preparing for a major overhaul in attack as the summer transfer window nears, driven by the ambitious plans of new head coach Enzo Maresca. Determined to fix their long-standing issues up front, the club is targeting proven goal-scorers who can transform their frontline.
Sources inside the club reveal strong interest in a £12 million-rated striker who has impressed the recruitment team. This unnamed forward is being considered alongside Liam Delap, a rising star currently excelling at Ipswich Town, where he has netted 12 Premier League goals. Delap’s previous connection with Maresca during their Manchester City days adds to Chelsea’s confidence in him.
Also on Chelsea’s radar is Brighton’s Evan Ferguson, though his hefty price tag of £100 million may lead the club to prioritize Delap, who has a much more affordable £30 million release clause.
This striker search isn’t just about filling positions—it’s part of a wider push to restore Chelsea’s fear factor and reestablish their dominance, with young, hungry attackers leading the way.
