Reporter Iomie Stanley has told CHELSEA that they need to add a new striker to the attack during the January transfer window, despite the good performances of Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer

Enzo Maresca has proven alot of people wrong already this season as the Blues are challenging for those Champions League places, and many feel that they can go on to challenge for that Premier League title.

Cole Palmer has 12 goals already this season and Nicolas Jackson has nine goals, but that has not stopped all the speculation and rumours in the media which have suggested that a new striker is wanted by Maresca.

Now, amid all the speculation and rumours, Stanley has opened up and encouraged his former club to make a move for a new striker – he said: ‘Chelsea have so many quality players, but they need a striker.

‘Christopher Nkunku looks like a player that would like to leave, Cole Palmer is brilliant but cant score every week, while Nicolas Jackson is a player that works hard, but is lacking that quality that will turn him into a 30 goals a season man.

‘Maresca will get the backing from the board to sign a new striker, but Chelsea need someone that is already proven that can bang in the goals on a weekly basis, not another project.’

CHELSEA have spent some serious money over the past couple of transfer windows, adding players to the side that could eventually develop into world class players, but they still dont have a 30-goals a season striker.

Jackson has been impressive this season, but will be very lucky to hit the 20 goals mark, while Palmer is more of an attacking midfielder, so adding someone that is proven at the very highest level of the game is needed.

Signing all these talents are great, but that board need some success sooner rather than later or the fans could turn against the club, Maresca must know what he wants, so if the Blues do make a move for a new striker, it will be interesting to see just who he manages to get.
