Chelsea will NOT make signings for the sake of it, insists Enzo Maresca, but he admits the Blues will spend big for a striker who can upgrade them - as Victor Osimhen remains a possibility

Enzo Maresca insists Chelsea will not make signings for the sake of it, but if they have the chance to bring in a striker who can upgrade them before the window closes, they will spend another bundle to do so.

Marc Guiu started up front in the 2-0 Conference League win over Servette on Thursday. There could be no faulting the 18-year-old's endeavour, but the summer signing from Barcelona missed one glorious chance to score when the goal was gaping at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are now targeting the addition of a centre forward as we count down to the August 30 deadline, with Napoli's Victor Osimhen still a possibility.
