Chelsea Transfers: 5 Strikers Jose Mourinho Must Sign Before Window Closes

2. Burak Yilmaz

Burak Yilmaz Alternatively, Chelsea could go for Galatasaray's prolific Burak Yilmaz to add some zap to their forward line. Yilmaz has been tearing the Turkish Süper Lig to shreds over the last two seasons, scoring 33 times in 34 league appearances in his final season at Trabzonspor before moving to Gala, where the goals have continued to flow. Last season, he bagged 24 domestic goals in 30 appearances for the Istanbul club, form which alerted Chelsea and Liverpool this summer. Yilmaz is a striker with an eye for goal and his 8 Champions League goals in 9 outings last season suggests he can cut it on the biggest stage against Europe's elite. Jose Mourinho is understood to be a bid admirer of the 28-year-old and could make a move before the transfer window slams shut next week.
