Fabrizio Romano shares Chelsea’s transfer priority ahead of January window
Chelsea is aiming to secure the services of a top-notch striker in 2024. As per reports from Fabrizio Romano, the club is now placing great importance on acquiring a dependable goal scorer in the upcoming year.
It’s uncertain whether they’ll be successful in securing a quality striker during the January transfer window.
The team faced difficulties in consistently scoring goals in the previous season.
To address this issue, they brought in Nicolas Jackson as an investment to solve their scoring woes. While the 22-year-old has shown promise at Stamford Bridge, he hasn’t been consistently finding the back of the net.
Having netted only three goals in 11 appearances across various competitions, the former La Liga striker, though showing potential, hasn’t been able to consistently score.
This indicates that Chelsea requires another striker investment.
With their previous season seeing them miss out on Champions League qualification, Chelsea is eager to make a strong return to the Premier European competition.
To do so, improving their attacking options is crucial for a successful season ahead.

According to Romano, Chelsea is not only focusing on acquiring a quality striker but is also considering potential defensive signings. Concurrently, Manchester United is reportedly keeping an eye on several central defenders.
Both teams have performed below expectations in the Premier League this season.
To secure qualification for the Champions League in the following season, they will have to stage a significant comeback.
The forthcoming transfer window in January will be pivotal for them to potentially bring in the reinforcements required and steer their campaigns back on a successful track.
It remains to be seen how successful they will be in reinforcing their squads and reviving their seasons.
