Chelsea have scored 45 goals So far this season, Average 16.1 shots per match and Average 57.7% of possession – So the fourth place is in the division in all these measuring data. However, Blues scored only eight goals in the last seven Premier league Games, because Nicolas Jackson did not score at the time.
Jackson has So far this season has left 23 appearances under Enzo Marescascoring nine goals, offering five assists and a total of 1,726 minutes played.
However, with all nine of these goals that have arrived in the first 16 Premier League games, Chelsea has struggled in recent weeks to score the ball into the back of the net, cannot turn to the natural option of the second attacker.
Christopher Nkinka was used as a spare Jackson striker this season, but this is obviously not his natural position, which is why the level of blues performance decreased whenever the Frenchman joined the action as a central part. Therefore, could Chelsea seek these problems in the last few days of transfer in January?
Chelsea’s search for an attacker
According to Guard reportsChelsea joined the race for Brighton’s striker, Evan Ferguson, who could leave the club or a permanent contract this month.

Paul Winstanley, who had previously worked in Brighton, and now Chelsea’s co -driver director could play a big role in this agreement in the last days of the window.
Ferguson has This season made 14 appearances for BrightonHalting one goal and a total of 373 minutes played, fighting for a consistent minute under Fabian Hurzeller so far this season.
