“Will arrive for sure” – Fabrizio Romano drops exciting double Chelsea transfer claim
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will enter the summer transfer window with a striker and a midfielder at the top of their list.
What is required of Chelsea this summer?
One might probably say that the Londoners were one of the campaign’s major surprises in 2022–2023.
And given that the Blues are presently sagging in the bottom half of the table, they haven’t given their supporters any pleasant surprises.
The fact that Todd Boehly is already on his third managerial assignment of the season while the search for Graham Potter’s long-term replacement continues highlights the team’s lack of managerial stability.
Over the past two transfer windows, the new Chelsea ownership has spent an outrageous amount of money.
However, given that several additions are being considered ahead of the summer transfer market, it does not appear that they are prepared to cut back on their spending.
In fact, the dependable journalist has been discussing their top two priorities on his Here We Go podcast with only four games left in their campaign:
The striker and central midfielder are Chelsea’s current top priorities, according to 13:30. “The striker will arrive for sure, and I believe the central midfielder too,” he added. On the market, of course, there could be more depending on the opportunities, but striker and midfielder are the priorities.”
Will adding a striker help Chelsea?
According to reports, a deal to hire Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge is getting closer to being finalised before the summer.
Given that it is obvious they need to make some changes to their squad, the club could possibly benefit from having a new face in the dugout over the summer.
One of Potter’s major issues at Stamford Bridge was the vast amount of players at his disposal, which made picking the ideal starting lineup extremely difficult.

However, one of their most noticeable faults is their lack of ability to score goals; this season, the Blues have scored the fifth-fewest (34) goals of any club in the league.
Kai Havertz leads Chelsea in goals scored this season across all competitions with just nine goals, and the next-highest scorers after Raheem Sterling with seven goals each have just three.
The Blues are reportedly ready to capture Victor Osimhen after his amazing Serie A season with Napoli.
Chelsea, who has managed to maintain one of the league’s best defensive records, could significantly increase their chances of scoring goals by bringing in a player of Osimhen’s caliber.
