Why Chelsea need to sign a striker before the summer window closes

Following the Blues’ 3-0 defeat to Leeds United, former Chelsea assistant coach, Jody Morris has pointed out that Thomas Tuchel needs to sign a new striker before the summer transfer window closes.

With the Blues already in talks with Spanish side Barcelona for striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Morris believes the former Arsenal captain would bring some changes to Chelsea.

“It’s a funny one because even though we are three games into the season I have to say I thought Chelsea were poor from an attacking aspect against Everton, they didn’t create enough clear-cut chances,” Morris told Stadium Astro.

“I thought the same today [against Leeds] even the chances they had, you would call them chances but you are not saying, ‘he must score there’. Even Sterling’s two chances came from him creating it himself.

“I just feel they are not creating enough real big opportunities to score goals apart from against Spurs when Havertz had the chance to put the game to bed.

“I think they have got to look for a striker.”
