Chelsea are reportedly in the market for a new striker and have turned their attention to the Italian Serie A.

Chelsea are reportedly considering a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to reports.

The 24-year-old Serbian international has impressed with 53 goals in 125 appearances for Juve since his £66 million transfer from Fiorentina three years ago.

Juve's desire to reduce their wage bill may lead to Vlahovic's departure before the January transfer window closes, and Enzo Maresca is reportedly keen on adding a new striker to his squad.

The Blues are in talks to sell Christopher Nkunku, who has started just three Premier League games this season and will need a to-level replacement.

Vlahovic, Juve's top scorer with 12 goals this season, has been at the center of controversy following two incidents in recent months, and there is a sense among all parties that a sale may be the best option.

Chelsea's struggles to capitalize on scoring opportunities have led to fan demands for a new striker to replace Nicolas Jackson.

The Blues have also been linked to Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen and Newcastle's Alexander Isak.
