Legendary Blues player Ray Wilkins believes that Chelsea need to sign another star forward as a back up to current goal scoring machine Diego Costa. The Blues looked lethal in the attack with Diego Costa at the centre of things, but Wilkins reckons that Blues need more depth in the area to coup the absence of Costa if sold.

‘Chelsea’s squad is very strong right across the board, but you would concede that they are so reliant on the forward areas and what I would say is that they do not have another recognised centre forward other than Diego Costa,’ he told Sky Sports.

‘They can play with all these smaller guys and play Hazard through the middle and Michy Batshuayi has come for £30m and we haven’t really seen him yet.

‘Of course, there are lots of youngsters out on loan which is another issue. But if they were to lose Costa that would be a massive, massive blow.

‘They need another centre forward for sure and they should try and rectify that during the window.’
