£1.5bn spent & no striker in sight - how did Chelsea get here?

Before Friday's Premier League game against Brighton, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca said they "need to find something different" without a genuine centre-forward currently available.

After been thumped 3-0 while failing to muster a shot on target, presumably the Italian is still searching.

Despite spending more than £1.5bn since the Clearlake Capital and Todd Boehly takeover went through less than three years ago, a recent injury crisis has left Chelsea's squad looking remarkably threadbare - none more so than up front.

How have Chelsea ended up with no fit strikers to call upon and how do they solve their problems in attack?
