Chelsea simply must sign a striker in January – and here’s why

They’ve got a great chance to reclaim their title back – they need to take it

Last season would have hurt Chelsea, there’s no doubt about it, the players, the fans, everybody. Slipping from 1st way down to 10th (even with a strong finish) is not what the club would have had in mind going into last season.

Having worked so hard to prove themselves again, and with Conte and Kante adding new energy to the team in two different ways, they are back at the top of English football in double quick time.

Now they simply have to take advantage – signing a striker could be the difference between runner-up and champion come what May.
