Premier League
Chelsea has identified their next target for the summer transfer market: to sign a center forward. The London club, having not strengthened their attack in January, has set their sights on two names for the upcoming transfer window: Liam Delap and Benjamin Sesko. Meanwhile, Nicolas Jackson will continue to be the offensive reference for Enzo Maresca's team.
In recent weeks, Chelsea's board has evaluated several options to bolster the frontline, but ultimately chose to wait until the end of the season to finalize a signing. Among the candidates, Delap, currently at Ipswich Town, has caught the Blues' attention, with them monitoring his progress for months. With nine goals in the Premier League, the 21-year-old forward has become a key player for his team, sparking interest from Stamford Bridge.
Delap and Sesko on Chelsea's Radar
Delap, who came through the Manchester City academy, was transferred last summer due to the Citizens' financial needs under profitability and sustainability regulations. Chelsea believes he has the potential to become an elite striker, although City's 20% sell-on clause could inflate his transfer fee.
On the other hand, Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig remains a recurring name on Chelsea's agenda. The attacker has been followed by the Blues for over a year, and his contract includes a release clause of around £65 million. However, Arsenal is also interested in the Slovenian, potentially leading to a fierce battle between the two London clubs to secure his signature in the next summer transfer window.
