Even though we are still months away from the transfer window opening again, news surrounding potential Chelsea signings is never far away.
The Blues were busy over the summer as they looked to build the best side possible for new manager Enzo Maresca to succeed with at Stamford Bridge.
This saw the likes of Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho and Joao Felix join a club who were already blessed with some impressive attacking players.
They didn’t end up signing a recognised striker though, despite reports strongly linking them to a number of targets during the window.
They were pushing to bring in Victor Osimhen all the way up until the deadline, but were unable to get that deal done on what they saw as their terms.
Chelsea ask about Dusan Vlahovic
However, reports have not gone away that they are interested in bringing in a new name up top, with Dusan Vlahovic cropping up again as a potential target.
According to TBR, the Blues have asked for information on the striker, who is currently yet to sign a new deal to commit his future for Juventus.
Chelsea fans will be well aware of the links their club have had to Vlahovic, and the closest they reportedly got to the deal was last summer.
Vlahovic not convinced by Mauricio Pochettino
However, it was reported at the time that the striker was not convinced by new manager at the time, Mauricio Pochettino, and had reservations about joining the Blues.
His goal record has left a number of questions over whether he has the ability to cut it at the top level of English football, and Chelsea will no doubt have some reservations about signing strikers from the Serie A.
Their club-record signing at the time, Romelu Lukaku, was more hassle than it was worth when he was here, and only this summer were they able to find a permanent new home for him as he returned to Italy.
