Chelsea have been linked with a lot of options to reinforce their number 9 position, as Enzo Maresca spoke out that he isn’t still satisfied with Nicolas Jackson’s performance and would be looking forward to a new name to rival that position.

According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have been linked with another striker, Julian Alvarez, who is up to move this summer after the recent rejection of the club’s offer to sign a new contract.

Meanwhile, Chelsea has also linked Oscar Bobb as another prospect, with Ivan Toney also arriving on the radar, though no bid has been made yet.

Enzo Maresca has looked into his squad depth this summer to supplement any lagging positions, and checking the numerous options he has already, it seems he still has issues with the forward line.

Manchester City has also handed a huge £72 million price tag to their striker Alvarez, and Chelsea are willing to trigger the deal this summer, with the contender seemingly coming from the French side.

With the new prospect returning on the Blues radar, Chelsea may opt for Victor Osimhen after finalizing the deal with Fillip Jorgensen this week.

And recent reports have claimed that the Blues are already sealing the deal sooner, with a £21 million bid accepted amid negotiations at the final level.

However, it remains to be seen if the manager would opt to sign Alvarez in order to bolster his attacking prowess, as the huge release clause seems huge, though it could still be triggered if the Blues make moves for some players who are currently linked with a possible exit this summer.
