Possibly the biggest surprise thus far, as the January transfer window draws to a close, is that the Blues have not yet made any moves to sign anyone.
With the return of David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos, two players Chelsea really leased out earlier in the season, most of the news surrounding Chelsea have focused on those guys.
But shortly, it will be time to deal with whatever additions they wish to make to try and salvage what has proven to be yet another disastrous season thus far.
While signing the striker they really want is probably unlikely to happen this month, Stamford Bridge’s management have made it clear that they have their eye on a striker.
Although Victor Osimhen has often been described as the ideal target, it was revealed last month that he had inked a new contract, so he won’t be leaving.
According to recent reports in the Premier League, Newcastle United, one of its competitors, may soon need to sell some important players in order to balance the books.
Isak ought to be Chelsea’s top focus.
If this is the case, the team ought to seize the opportunity to sign Alexander Isak without hesitation.
The Swedish international leads all Chelsea players in Premier League goals scored so far this season with nine.
This is true even if he and Callum Wilson frequently split playing time up front, though it’s safe to argue that he has impressed more since joining the team for £63 million.
Chelsea appears unimpressed with what Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja have to offer, thus they are currently searching for a temporary fix to carry them through the remainder of the season.
But if they can land Isak this month, they could accomplish two goals at once if the right deal comes around.
