Chelsea scouting France, Germany and Spain for a new striker

Even after spending over a billion euros on reinforcements, Chelsea has not found a suitable striker. Statistically, Nicolas Jackson had a decent debut season at Stamford Bridge, but it appears he did not make a strong enough impression to be the main striker for the London club, as European media have been reporting for weeks about the Blues’ search for a new ‘number nine.’ The latest player to come under the radar of the two-time European champions is Jonathan David. For years, the Canadian international has been linked with the biggest European clubs, and now he has caught the interest of Chelsea, according to The Athletic. The mentioned source reports that the London club’s officials have already contacted the agents of the Lille striker to inquire about a potential transfer of their client.Are Chelsea looking to become a ‘reseller’ club – like Brighton, Dortmund or Atalanta?The Athletic reports that Chelsea has not yet contacted Lille but maintains good relations with the French club. Since David’s contract expires in a year, the price would be “reasonable.” However, despite being highly rated, the 24-year-old Canadian is not the only player on Chelsea’s wish list. Also on the list is Atlético Madrid’s Samu Omorodion. Despite having only one season in La Liga under his belt, Chelsea offered 40 million euros for the 20-year-old Spaniard, but Atlético rejected the offer, believing Omorodion’s value will increase significantly in the coming years.Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde or a world-class left-back?German publication Bild claims Chelsea has inquired about Maximilian Beier, the 21-year-old Hoffenheim striker who scored 16 goals in the Bundesliga last season and has a buyout clause of around 30 million euros. Mundo Deportivo adds that Chelsea is also interested in Barcelona teenager Marc Guiu (18), whose current release clause is just 6 million euros, although the Catalan club is keen to keep him and is making efforts to extend his contract. The list doesn’t end there. A few weeks ago, Jhon Duran (20) from Aston Villa was linked with Chelsea, and recently, the London club has renewed its interest in Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke (26), who left Stamford Bridge seven years ago. And we believe the list doesn’t end here…EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP – GROUP STAGESunday 22.00: (5.00) Switzerland (3.70) Germany (1.80)22.00: (2.95) Scotland (3.50) Hungary (2.50)Monday 22.00: (7.50) Albania (4.40) Spain (1.45)22.00: (3.05) Croatia (3.45) Italy (2.45)***odds are subject to change***
