Chelsea looking at three strikers ahead of January?

Chelsea are looking at three striker candidates ahead of the January transfer window, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The west London giants signed Nicolas Jackson to bolster the strikeforce in the summer, but he has been a huge disappointment.

The Senegalese has just one goal from seven outings, and there are already calls from fans for him to be dropped from the XI.

Amidst this, it is claimed that the Blues could pursue another marquee striker when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.

Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic has re-emerged as a target for the Blues amid his impressive form for the Bianconeri in the new campaign.

Aside from him, Brentford's Ivan Toney and Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins are options that the Blues are prepared to consider in the next window.

Toney could be prised away for around £60 million this winter, but a deal for Watkins seems unlikely with Villa lining up a new deal for him.
