According to Gabby Agbonlahor, Chelsea needs to replace Kai Havertz in the last third of the field with a player who is more physically dominant.
Graham Potter may make finding a potent goal threat his top objective this summer despite the Blues having spent more than $500 million on players over the last two transfer windows.
The former Aston Villa striker Agbonlahor said that Chelsea try to buy Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur because Kai Havertz is not a true No. 9 for his team. He was speaking on talkSPORT.
"[Chelsea] lack a merciless striker. Imagine the odds of a goal if Harry Kane and [Erling] Haaland were on that team.
"Havertz is, to me, lightweight. He’s a big lad, but gets bullied on the ball. He’s not an out-and-out number nine and is more a number 10. [But] they’ve got [Cristopher] Nkunku coming in the summer.”
Chelsea are set to land Cristopher Nkunku in the summer after a transfer for the France international forward was agreed upon with RB Leipzig last year and his arrival will provide Potter with much-needed fresh blood in the front line.
Scoring goals has been a problem for the Blues this term with their attacking signings in Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failing to impress since their move to the Bridge last summer.
