Carlos Bacca has made a name with his goalscoring exploits all over Europe and was one of the hottest prospects in the summer when AC Milan snapped him up from Sevilla where he won two consecutive Europa League title.
He has since gone off the boil with the goalscoring exploits in the Serie A, scoring only 8 goals over the season so far, which is largely due to Milan’s unimpressive chance creation rate.
He has been more than up to the task whenever he has been called upon inside the area and has been impressive with his solid displays with the Rossoneri.
The Colombian striker will be coming in for another fellow Colombian, Radamel Falcao who has been sidelined with a long term injury along with Loic Remy for the Blues and makes Diego Costa the only senior striker in the squad for Chelsea.
Diego has picked up a knock over the FA Cup tie with Scunthorpe United just as he had hit form with four goals in three matches under the new manager.
The price floating around in the outlets for the player is said to be 30 million euros, which might turn out to be a bargain if the succeeds to display the skills he caught the eye of many a scouts with, back in Seville.
He will be looking to make an impression in the biggest league of all and should be relishing the prospect of finishing up all the chances the talented Chelsea midfield produce with regularity over a match.
The move would be slightly surprising in case it goes through as Blues have been reluctant to spend in the winter window over the last few years but it can safely be said that if the move does materialise, it will be an impressive one as Bacca is a proven goalscorer and will definitely be an upgrade over both of their backup strikers over the remaining half of the season.
