At the outset of this EPL season, Chelsea appears to be struggling with a less-than-productive striker. Evidently, in the match against Nottingham Forest, Chelsea generated numerous opportunities, yet none were successfully converted into goals.

Is acquiring Oshimen the right move? Are there other aspects beyond the attacking line that are influencing Chelsea's current performance?

I don't think lack of scoring striker is a problem. I think Chelsea are making investments in areas where they don't actually have a problem. They have Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku who are really good strikers so in my opinion it is enough. They have already invested over a 100m for acquiring strikers and now another 175m for Osmihen? Why not try to get a very strong attacking midfielder that has a good vision and create some good attacking plays. Their defence is also not that strong.

I think it's a long road but if club are making unnecessary signings then I find that road even longer.

Who has said that Chelsea is willing to pay 175m for Osimhen and how does that even make sense when the transfer markets are closed?

As the news said Nkunku could be out for a total of 16 weeks and that is a big loss for them, but with all those investments that Chelsea made they should already be able to bring on a proper replacement for Nkunku. Talking about Osimhen now wouldn't help anyway as that transfer could be made in the winter only and by then Nkunku should be fully recovered and available.

I don't know, it could again be injuries and other circumstances for Chelsea, which they claim as the reason for their bad performances. But when a club as rich as Chelsea and as active on the transfer market as they have been, still can't play successfully, then there is more to that than just one injured Nkunku.

If they again make a record breaking investment in winter, I think people will mostly shake their heads.
