5 Strikers Chelsea can sign Instead of splashing the cash on Romelu Lukaku

This season has seen some brilliant imports to the premier league as Manchester United and Manchester City have done their job smartly but the London Clubs have been relatively silent than their Premier League rivals.

The likes of Arsenal and Chelsea are still in a hunt for a marksman but have failed on the targets that they had eyed while Arsenal has been less active in that department but the Chelsea Management desperately wants a striker. Their prime target was the Real Madrid star Alvaro Morata but were not able to succeed and now have kept their eyes on their very own Romelu Lukaku and are ready to pay ₤ 60 million but the problem is Everton are reluctant to sell him. These are the five options that Chelsea can consider instead of Romelu Lukaku –

Alexandre Lacazette

The French ace has proven his worth in the French football and is also poised to leave his former club for the greener pastures where he could have more exposure. The French scorer will bring goals and definitely lots of them and apart from that Chelsea have always achieved success with their Ligue 1 signings.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

The Gabon star was almost unstoppable for the Borussia Dortmund side last season as he scored goals in surplus for his club in the Bundes Liga. He definitely suits the playing style of Chelsea and will turn out to be great assets for the London side. His 25 goals last season clearly prove his capabilities.

Mauro Icardi

He is a top-notch striker with experience of playing on the top-level for the last two seasons. The biggest advantage in devising his move is that his club wants to offload him which makes him a bargain.

Mario Mandzukic

He was a one man army for the Bayern team once when they secured the Champions league title for the last time. He is a potent driving force and he is an experienced war veteran. He also wants to move to a different club after his club has signed Higuain.

Christian Benteke

Probably the cheapest option among all of them but the smartest one. The biggest advantage with Benteke is that he has a premier league experience with him and is also available at bargain as Liverpool are looking to offload him.
