Gulf News Verdict: Chelsea have already agreed terms with Ipswich to sign Liam Delap, but they are in the market for another attacker as well. The striker market is scarce, and whoever is available is young and expensive. There is a high possibility for this to happen, but the important point is that Frankfurt are good sellers who will demand the reported transfer fee. Can Chelsea bring that asking price down? We have to wait and see. Victor Osimhen, who is a proven winner, is available in the market with a £65M release clause. However, his age profile and wages don’t fit into the new Chelsea project. Hugo Ekitike is a versatile forward who has already proved at Frankfurt that he can play alongside Omar Marmoush, who is now a Man City player, and also as a lone striker. Maresca’s side has no issue agreeing to personal terms with the player, but will Frankfurt bring the price down?
