José Mourinho made it clear in his Friday press conference that Chelsea will prioritize signing a new striker in the upcoming transfer window. The Portuguese manager acknowledged the club’s long-term plan to strengthen their attacking options, which have underwhelmed this season with Eto’o, Torres, and Demba Ba all struggling for consistency.
While praising his current forwards as “good players,” Mourinho emphasized that the evolution of the team requires a more prolific presence up front. This confirms Chelsea’s intent to bolster their attack, with Atlético Madrid’s Diego Costa already widely rumored to be the club’s main target.
