Chelsea will be on the lookout for a striker during the upcoming transfer window as they look to improve their squad ahead of the 2020/21 season.
Frank Lampard made no secret of the fact that he was on the search for a forward in order to take the burden off of top scorer Tammy Abraham’s shoulders in the January transfer window.
The Blues were linked with many players including Moussa Dembele and Edinson Cavani, but no deal was completed, meaning that they would have to wait for the summer in order to bring in more resources.
Lampard is reportedly being given a healthy budget after the club were unable to make signings last summer due to a transfer ban.
One other striker who has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge is RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner.
Both Chelsea and Liverpool are said to be interested in the German who has scored 21 goals in 25 Bundesliga appearances this season.
Now the two clubs could have been handed a boost in their hopes of bringing him to the Premier League this season, with his club moving to bring in a potential replacement.
According to Weser Kurier RB Leipzig are closing in on the signing of Werder Bremen forward Milot Rashica. The report claims that the transfer is imminent, with an announcement possible later this month.
Reports claim that the Werder striker will cost Leipzig around £33 million to bring him to the club.
Should a deal be completed, it could mean that the German club will be more willing to do a deal for Werner in order to make a profit from the scenario.
