As the January window approaches, Chelsea have placed them at a stop where they have to make a puzzling decision. In the transfer window, the Blues have a chance to sign one of the most high-profile strikers in Europe: Victor Osimhen. But they are stuck in a dilemma to whether go for Victor Osimhen or invest in the players that are already part of their squad like Nicolas Jackson and Joao Felix. With trophies and titles running back of their mind, they need to look for a way thinking of a long-term effect instead of a immediate one.
Nicolas Jackson: Future Of Chelsea’s Forward Line?
Nicolas Jackson’s time at Chelsea has been full of ups and downs. And this is the main reason why he hasn’t been able to establish himself as the main man in attack. Yet instead of regular critiques, he has somehow managed to score 19 goals in 48 appearances. Now this stat is highly appreciable for such young talent. And also at the present moment, Jackson have been giving consistent performances, showcasing that he could be a real deal for the Blues in future. And that’s the reason Chelsea is holding them back for signing another striker with high price tag.
Joao Felix: An Asset For Chelsea?
Now moving on a permanent deal from Atletico Madrid, Joao Felix adds versatility in attack for Chelsea. He is a player who can play at different attacking positions. And this trait of him gets him closer to Enzo Maresca who prefers adaptable attacking players in his side. So for now Felix’s future lies in his own hands. Since his return in London, he has shown signs of a top players. Yet Chelsea is uncertain about him. As Felix will only be an asset for them if he can deliver these performances consistently at number 9 position or as a winger.
Is Victor Osimhen Worth The Investment?
Victor Osimhen is one of the most on demand striker in all of Europe. And this is why Chelsea thinks he can be a star at Stamford Bridge, making huge impact in London. But financial criteria cannot be ignored. Budget and wage structure needs to be studied before signing Osimhen, a striker with such high market value. The club has already shown hesitance in similar signing before, when they withdrew their deal to sign Michael Olise. This shows club’s financial implications and the difficulty they would face to sign another striker.
Is Investing Big The Solution For Chelsea?
If Chelsea invests in Victor Osimhen rather than sticking with Nicolas Jackson and Joao Felix, it would clearly indicate that the club is looking for instant gains rather than long terms investments. And coming into the title race is the main priority of the Blues right now. But Jackson’s current form and Felix’s versatility is making it a tough choice for the club. But whatever the decision be, it has got the strength to change the club’s whole dynamics in the second half of the season, which not only includes their squad but their financial strategics and future transfers as well.
Conclusion
As Chelsea moves towards the January transfer window, they will have this complex decision to choose their attacker running back of their mind. With Osimhen, there is a promise of immediate result but also financial complications. And on the other hand, Joao Felix and Nicolas Jackson only promises potential and flexibility. They could be Chelsea’s knight in the shining armour. Anyways now let the buzz move till January where we find the end of this tale once and for all.
