Why Chelsea Should Target a Ready-Made Superstar Instead of a Wonderkid Striker

Don't let Alvaro Morata's recent run goals fool you, Chelsea are still very much in a goal-scoring crisis.

The Spaniard now has six goals from 15 appearances this season, taking his Chelsea tally to 20 goals from 63 appearances. Olivier Giroud, the man brought in to help ease the goalscoring burden, is yet to net this season and has just five goals from his 29 appearances. That is 26 goals from a combined 92 appearances between the duo, which is nothing short of abysmal.

Maurizio Sarri is believed to have lost patience with both strikers, and is now scouting potential replacements.
