Undoubtedly the biggest headache, the striking position is one that Chelsea has struggled with for years. Didier Drogba and Diego Costa were big name signings who more than delivered, firing the team to multiple titles with their goals and personalities.

However, for every Drogba, there has been a Mateja Kezman, Andriy Shevchenko, Michy Batshuayi, Alvaro Morata amongst others. Chelsea has had rotten luck with strikers over the years.

Morata and Giroud, in particular, have been huge disappointments with both players combining to score less than 10 goals this season. Thus, when Morata moved to join Atletico Madrid in January, few tears were shed on his behalf.

Gonzalo Higuain's arrival in January looks to be a temporary solution. He has looked okay in patches since he arrived but has not been helped by the lack of service from midfield (a failing of the team's Sarriball system).

The centre-forward role is one that the club has to endeavour to fix next season if things are to change.
