Here Are Three Like To Like Replacements Chelsea Should Look To Sign If Diego Costa Leaves The Club

There is no doubt about the impressive season Chelsea is having under the lead of Antonio Conte, but behind all that great image of the Blues, there are some issues that need to be fixed if Chelsea wants to win Premier League this season.

However, getting along is not a requirement to win a trophy, but you can definitely say things work better when there are some camaraderies between teammates.

It seems like Chelsea has some things to settle before losing the great shape they are having during this season. As soon as he arrived, Conte made big changes in Chelsea, and those changes are the responsible of this team leading the Premier League table with some difference regarding their chasers.

Conte has been interested in signing some big figures in order to lock of his Chelsea team for the rest of the season, and now adding to those rumours, there are new ones about the departure of Diego Costa, one of the referents of the team right now. Costa is reportedly having troubles with the Italian boss and that would mark the end of his stay in Stamford Bridge.

Now, knowing that Costa solved a lot of games for Chelsea with a spectacular play, he will be someone hard to replace, and more having in count the kind of striker that Chelsea likes; players who can fight with defenders and make real damage in rival’s defences, like Didier Drogba used to do back in his days at the Bridge.

However that is not the style of Conte, Chelsea will surely try to sign a striker with similar characteristics to Costa. Therefore, we have some options that Chelsea might be interested in. These are three strikers Chelsea should look for if Costa leaves.

Andrea Belotti

This Italian wonder kid has caught the eye of several European giants, and even if they’ve rejected a huge bid from Arsenal, it doesn’t mean that a big check from Roman Abramovich won’t help them change their mind. Belotti is extremely talented and an outstanding finisher despite his youth, and he should definitely be pursued by the blues.

Alvaro Morata

Morata returned to his native club Real Madrid just to be sent back to the bottom of the bench in favour of Karim Benzema, but he has managed to produce a great impact whenever he has been called to step on the pitch. The youngster could be a starter in any major club in Europe, as he shown during his Juventus tenure, so it would make a lot of sense for Chelsea to make a push for the outcast striker.

Daniel Sturridge

The talented striker has a history with Chelsea and might take a while to convince him, but he’s definitely not comfortable at Anfield right now and doesn’t seem very pleased with Jurgen Klopp or his system, and there have been a lot of indications that point that England’s starting striker might be on his way out of Anfield really soon, and considering that he’s one of the most proven strikers in the league right now, it would be really interesting to see the injury prone forward elsewhere to try and prove his value once again.
