Jamie Redknapp: ''Chelsea still haven't got a top striker despite spending £1.2bn''

John Obi Mikel must agree with Redknapp as he spoke after today's game on beIN Sports and was furious about Jackson's decision-making and his soft finishing. Obi Mikel is still pushing the Chelsea board via media to sign Osimhen.

Enzo Maresca knows that if he is to succeed at Chelsea, he will need someone who can score 20+ goals. This is the biggest pain Chelsea have had in the past seasons, since Didier Dogba and Diego Costa times.

Did Enzo Maresca send an encrypted message to the Chelsea hierarchy? He is like begging for a new striker: "The difference between us and them (Man City) was inside the box"

Even though Chelsea played an even game against Man City, they were lacklustre in from of the goal. They created the same amount of chances (1) as Man City, but the difference is in converting them. Chelsea had an xG (expected goals) of 1.23 and Man City only 0.82.

Chelsea missed 73 big chances last season, only Liverpool missed more (79).

A Sky Sports pundit, Jamie Redknapp, has criticised Chelsea's impotency in front of the goal and their inability to bring a prolific striker. Was he right to say: "They spent £1.2bn and they still haven't got a top striker and I'm not even sure they've got a good goalkeeper"?

It looks like the same nightmare will haunt Chelsea this season unless they make some bold moves on the market. The transfer of Osimhen is still uncertain due to his salary demands, and the Samu Omorodion deal collapsed. There is a striker, who could have an impact on Chelsea. It's Ivan Toney, a proven Premier League striker. Brentford's manager Frank spoke on Toney's omission against Palace and admitted that something is happening on the market.
