Scouting For Mourinho: Top 3 Clinical Strikers Who Will Boost Chelsea’s Title Chances

Chelsea’s strikers have failed to live up to the expectations, prompting manager Jose Mourinho to look at possible options in the transfer market. Here’s a look at three strikers the Blues might consider, in a bid to bolster their options up front.

3. Jackson Martinez (Porto)

According to Sports Direct News, FC Porto’s Colombian striker Jackson Martinez  is at the top of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho’s January transfer window wish-list after watching his current crop of strikers – record signing Fernando Torres, summer arrival Samuel Eto’o and former Newcastle hit man Demba Ba fail to be prolific in front of goal. The trio have scored just five Premier League goals between them, Mourinho is aware that a lack of a cutting edge up front could them the title.

The Colombian has scored 49 goals in 64 appearances since arriving at Porto, and the club’s failure to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League could be a great chance for Chelsea to swoop in to sign the prolific forward. 27 year old Martinez himself is interested in a move to Chelsea, and given his ability to find the back of the net on a consistent basis, it may be wise for Chelsea to fork out the money necessary (he has a huge £34m buy-out clause)to bring him to West London.
