Chelsea are attempting to sign a striker before the transfer deadline of Friday night (1 September).
The Blues are looking for a forward to replace Romelu Lukaku, who has left the club.
Chelsea have agreed a season-long loan deal with Roma for Lukaku, with the Serie A club paying £8 million for the striker.
The culmination of the Belgium international’s exit has allowed the Londoners to finalize yet another signing in what has been a phenomenal period of activity.
Chelsea are said to seek another forward and are hoping to complete a deal before the 11 p.m. deadline on Friday.
So far this summer, Mauricio Pochettino’s team has made ten additions.
Forward Nicolas Jackson joined Chelsea on a permanent basis from Villarreal and scored his first goal for the club in last week’s 3-0 triumph over Luton Town.
Christopher Nkunku, who typically plays as a second striker, joined the Blues from RB Leipzig but suffered a devastating injury before making his debut for the club.
Armando Broja is also waiting for his chance, with Pochettino willing to give him playing time after a cruciate ligament injury setback.

The departing Kai Havertz was Chelsea’s top scorer in the 2022-23 season, with nine goals in 47 games across all competitions.
Diego Costa was the last Blues player to score 20 league goals in a single season, doing so in 2014-15.
