Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino faces a seven-day deadline to decide on acquiring a new striker for Stamford Bridge following an injury setback to Christopher Nkunku.
Despite Pochettino providing mixed updates on Nkunku’s return, Chelsea is set to recruit a striker in 2024, with Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen, and Evan Ferguson as potential options. Pochettino refrained from confirming interest in Ferguson, emphasizing a thorough assessment of the squad.
However, football.london suggests that a move for the 19-year-old Brighton player is unlikely due to the substantial price tag and competition from other clubs. Meanwhile, Chelsea has approved the loan move of David Datro Fofana to Burnley to provide the young talent with essential playing time and Premier League experience.
The decision aligns with Chelsea’s goal of nurturing talent and allowing players to gain valuable exposure to top-flight football.
