Ex-Chelsea man expects club to sign player in key position next summer

Chelsea legend Pat Nevin has spoken out about the club’s striker situation, saying he expects them to sign a new striker in the summer.

Speaking to West London Sport, the ex-striker claimed that Sarri is likely to sign a new forward who better fits his style of play.

Despite Chelsea’s strong start to the season, remaining unbeaten in the league and keeping pace with Manchester City and Liverpool, both Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata have found criticism for their lack of goals.

I do expect a new centre-forward by next season.

Morata has scored five goals in 14 Premier League games so far, with Giroud still yet to score in the league. Both strikers sit behind the likes of Glenn Murray, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Richarlison in the goal charts so far this season.

Despite this, Nevin does not see the arrival of a new forward to signal the end of either player’s Chelsea career.

It’s not the end of the road for Morata or Giroud.

Having three strikers is not beyond the realms of possibility.

Nevin, who won multiple ‘Player of the Year Awards’ during his time at Stamford Bridge, did recognise that the pair’s talents go beyond simply goalscoring.

Football is not all about statistics.

Giroud did not score at the World Cup and France won it. Chelsea have not been doing too bad, having not lost a game.

Every centre-forward wants to get the ball in early before he is marked. But after 140 passes before the ball arrives, losing your marker is not going to happen if he has been looking at you for two minutes.

The system does not need a target man. It needs an aggressive, skilful player who is a natural goalscorer. But the complete package, like a Sergio Aguero or Luis Suarez, is not easy to come by.

Chelsea have been linked with a number of top strikers, including Mauro Icardi, Krzysztof Piatek, and Marko Arnautovic.
