The January transfer window will soon be upon us, and all the talk at Chelsea will return to potential new strikers and whether they will actually be moving for one or not.
Nicolas Jackson has started this season on fire really and is even turning up with goals and assists. Many might think that Chelsea should just stick with Jackson and not even sign a new striker, but they fought so hard to sign one in the summer only to fail, so you’d expect them to still be wanting to sign a new one come the winter window.

Victor Osimhen is obviously the main one who they tried to get, and according to Caught Offside, Chelsea have not changed their plans over the pursuit of a new striker in upcoming transfer windows, with talks continuing with the agent of Victor Osimhen despite the superb recent form of Nicolas Jackson.
Jackson’s form has apparently not been enough to change Chelsea’s mind about targeting Osimhen
Chelsea also still looking at three other strikers
In the same report, it says Chelsea are also still considering three other options in case they cannot land Osimhen.
Chelsea also have Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres, Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko on their list and being monitored closely.
But it is the aforementioned who remains the priority for Chelsea, with the report concluding that sources have told CaughtOffside that Chelsea are still in contact with Osimhen’s agent, who is also speaking to other clubs in Italy, Spain and Saudi Arabia.
