Declan Rice, a sensation for England at the World Cup, will be acquired by Chelsea from West Ham United, according to former Manchester United striker Michael Owen.
Additionally, Didier Drogba’s role at Chelsea has not yet been filled, according to Owen, who added that the Blues should concentrate on bringing a new striker to Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window.
Owen stated to Premier League Productions that Chelsea had been without a center-forward for some time.
“The center forward position, which corresponds to Chelsea’s number nine, is frequently referred to as a graveyard position in football circles.
It has been challenging to replace Didier Drogba for a very long time. Not many of the amazing, pricey additions to that Chelsea club have clicked, with Lukaku likely the most recent.
So they’re not even using a striker now, despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars.
They scarcely even have a striker at the club, and the only one they actually have is Armando Broja, who was on loan at Southampton last year and is currently injured.
“I believe that if you had to pick just one area where they needed to improve, a center forward would be it. However, I can envision them making substantial purchases, including Declan Rice in the summer.
