Chelsea's struggles in front of goal are nothing new after another season of failing to find the back of the net on a consistent basis. The Blues have scored just 30 goals in 32 games this season, a number that has seen them sit in the bottom half of the table despite over £500million spent in the transfer market under new owners Boehly-Clearlake.
There will be hopes that a new manager can help solve most of the issues the squad faces, with Mauricio Pochettino the main name in the frame to take the job. While there will be some solutions within the squad to goal scoring issues, perhaps the summer transfer window will allow for some moves in and out of the club to help.
Plenty of options have been linked from Harry Kane to Victor Osimhen, but the fees that will need to be spent to land them could be astronomical. There are bargains to be had, with one of them being a player the Blues have previously been linked to, but missed out on.

That forward is Paulo Dybala, who has impressed in his first season at AS Roma under Jose Mourinho, with 18 goal involvements in 23 league appearances. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Argentina international has a release clause worth €12million (£10.6million) and Dybala would have the final say on any move.
It could prove to be a bargain for the forward if he were to join, with Mourinho already outlining his qualities in a recent press conference: "My sensation is that [Dybala] was seeking the joy he had lost more than confidence. He found it here, with a squad that understands him, a coach that loves him, a position on the field with players like Pellegrini, Cristante and Mancini he has strong characters around him in leadership roles
“Dybala is a nice boy. He has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the world, but he has found joy here."
