Chelsea: The first six fixtures of the 2021/22 Premier League
Chelsea's summer transfer plans have become more evident, with Fabrizio Romano confirming two of the club's stances during the current window. Thomas Tuchel could bolster two positions with heavyweight reinforcements going into his first full campaign in charge at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's desire to land a new striker this summer has been no secret, with Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku and Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland among those linked.
Timo Werner scored more goals (12) and provided more assists (11) than any other Blues player this season.
However, the German's tendency to miss chances has stressed the need for a killer finisher at Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel will want a number nine who can contribute in build-up play like Werner but show ruthlessness in front of goal.
Adding a player like Lukaku or Haaland would undoubtedly take the European champions to the next level, and such a signing is a real possibility.
