    Apparently, Chelsea also have a striker problem.

    That leaves Maresca to choose between persisting with Christopher Nkunku as a striker or using Cole Palmer as a false 9. Nkunku, whose future was in the air during the January transfer window, did not impress as a forward against Brighton.

    Chelsea, who are in fourth place, visit Brighton again in the league on Friday and questions will be asked about why they did not reinforce their attack last month. João Félix, the Portugal attacker, was allowed to join Milan on loan. Chelsea looked at signing a striker or a left-winger but decided to focus on targets for the summer.

      Well there goes our cheeky bid for Nicolas Jackson

      Also: they didn’t reinforce their attack because the board said “you’ve been reinforcing for ages! you need to start harvesting!”.
