BBC Sport share update on Chelsea’s striker situation this summer

At least two of the strikers currently on the books at Chelsea are likely to be sold this summer according to reports.

After a quiet January the Blues are once again expected to be busy this summer with a lot of business needed to be done in regards to both incomings and outgoings.

Chelsea are thought to be in the market for a centre back, whilst they are also said to want to add another midfielder and attacker.

Two Chelsea strikers likely to leave this summer

The Blues haver got some important decisions to make when it comes to their striker department, with movement expected at the end of the season.

Joao Pedro is attracting interest from Barcelona after an impressive first campaign, whilst Liam Delap has really struggled.

Marc Guiu has barely had a look in, whilst Emmnauel Emegha will arrive from Strasbourg in the summer, and Nicolas Jackson will return from his loan at Bayern Munich.

Jackson is attracting interest from a number of clubs, whilst playing for the Blues again hasn’t entirely been ruled out.

That leaves Chelsea with five strikers on their books, and journalist Nizaar Kinsella has reported at least two of those are likely to leave this summer.

“Chelsea also still have striker Liam Delap on their books, teenage forward Marc Guiu and established starting option Joao Pedro, while Strasbourg striker Emanuel Emegha is set to join in the summer,” he told BBC Sport.

“Along with Jackson, at least two of those players are likely to be sold in the summer.”

Marco Silva has played down speculation linking him with the Chelsea job, with the Fulham boss understood to be one of several candidates.

There’s thought to be seven or eight names under consideration, with Andoni Iraola believed to be an early front runner.
