Chelsea desperately seeks a '9' of guarantees that provides offensive solutions in attack. Before the inoperability of Timo Werner last season and the demand that is coming in the next one, the 'blues' have among their options forwards known to all as is the case of Harry Kane, Haaland, Lukaku, Lewandowski … However, this is not going to be an easy task, so lower profile options are being considered.
Among the covered are two forwards who coincide in wanting to take a leap in their career. It's about Danny Ings and Sasa Kalajdzic. The English footballer, at 28 years old, wants to make the final leap that he has lacked until now. Coming from teams such as Liverpool or Southampton, Ings currently contemplates more than one option, since he has not renewed with the Saints (it ends in 2022). Chelsea have it on their agenda, but he really wants to play in Manchester. Neither City nor United have made an offer for the English player, so we will have to continue waiting for his future to become clearer.
On the other side of the coin is the young Austrian striker Sasa Kalajdzic. From Stuttgart, the 24-year-old He wants to make the leap to a larger team to show his potential. He is a forward of two meters and less than 80 kilos, a profile very similar to that of Peter Crouch. With 17 targets last year, is one of the options that Chelsea are also considering, as announced The Athletic.
