5 players who could solve Chelsea’s goalscoring woes

#2 Andrea Belotti (Torino)

Belotti is the sort of player who has succeeded at Chelsea in the past

If you look at the strikers who have had success at Chelsea over the past decade, it has been players who have had a physical edge to their game. Didier Drogba was a nightmare for defenders to deal with, and he is regarded by many as one of Chelsea’s greatest players. Diego Costa may have been a man who was never popular with opposition fans, but Chelsea were always a better side with him in it, and he played a massive part in their two most recent Premier League titles.

Belotti is similar to these players in a way. His goal record is not quite as good as Icardi’s but as someone who plays more as a target man, he has a different role. He is more than capable of finding the net, having scored 26 goals during the 2016/17 season. He may not be the man Chelsea are looking for now though, because although he would be a real asset, he isn’t as clinical in front of goal as some of the other strikers on this list.
