Chelsea Transfers: 5 Reasons Why The Blues Need A New Striker This January

5. Chelsea Have The Worst Attack Of Top Four

Of course, we can talk about opinion and perceptions for a long time, but it€™s the pure numbers that really matter. The Blues have scored 38 goals from their 20 league games so far this season, meaning on average they score 1.9 goals per game. The club have improved lately with five goals scored in their two most recent games against Southampton and Liverpool. Their attacking record might be the fourth best in the league, and there are certainly seasons when it wouldn€™t be a cause for concern. However, as we know, this is an extraordinary campaign and that calls for the Blues to take action. And that€™s mainly because of the explosive attacks that we have seen from Liverpool and Manchester City of late. The Reds have scored 46 league goals this season with City grabbing an incredible return of 57; both teams have at least one reliable striker showing what a difference a similar option could make to Mourinho€™s men. The flip side is the Blues have a good defensive record with only Arsenal conceding less.
