Imagine Romelu Lukaku, Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Dusan Vlahovic all vying to become Chelsea's leading frontman.
You’re probably wondering why I'm ever mentioning Vlahovic given he seems to be on his way to Arsenal, right?
Chelsea have plenty of attacking options in their squad already and I'd not really contemplated the Blues making a move for Vlahovic until news surfaced of the Fiorentina hitman holding off on a move to Arsenal in case Chelsea came knocking.
There's no better feeling than pinching a rival's transfer target from under their nose and this could be a great opportunity for Chelsea to do just that.
Vlahovic has made a name for himself in Serie A and is now being heavily linked with a move to the Premier League.
Arsenal were quick to lodge their interest in the youngster, with the Gunners reportedly ready to table an offer of roughly £58million in a bid to ease their striker woes.
But according to TuttoMercatoWeb, Vlahovic is only interested in joining Manchester City or Chelsea if he's to move to the Premier League.
It’s crazy to think that Arsenal are prepared to go to these lengths to sign the striker. It’s not often you see them go gung-ho in the market and this could be something of a turning point for the club - unless Chelsea ruin the party.
The Blues have previous when it comes to pinching players from rival teams. The most famous case was when Willian was on his way to have a medical with Tottenham Hotspur before Chelsea swooped in to lure him to Stamford Bridge.
"We get to the training centre, Kia [Joorabchian], my agent, is already down there, waiting," Willian said of his move to Chelsea.
"I thought it was weird, he was already at the door. Then I got out of the van, he said, 'we have problems'. I said 'oh, what happened?'
"Then he said 'Chelsea made an offer'. I said, 'so make do, I’ll get back in the van, you’ll make do and I’ll go to Chelsea, I will not sign with Tottenham'."
And the rest is history.
While a prolific hitman like Vlahovic would be welcome at Chelsea regardless of how well the team were playing, Thomas Tuchel's side's misfiring strikeforce means this is an opportunity Chelsea can't afford to pass on.
Despite their promising form, Arsenal can't give the youngster Champions League football and this could seriously dent their hopes of signing Vlahovic.
I'd absolutely love it if we swooped in at the last second and brought the talented striker to Stamford Bridge.
