Chelsea transfer options: Man United flop, £32.5m giant or Higuain – which striker should Mourinho buy?

5) Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon)

Finally, another realistic option for Chelsea would be in-form Lyon front-man Alexandre Lacaztte, who is also wanted by Arsenal and Liverpool.

Pros: Amazing scoring record this season with 31 goals, still only 23 and with plenty of time to get even better. Should score bucketloads in an even better team.

Cons: Possibly a bit expensive and arguably only scoring in Ligue 1, which is far easier than doing the business every week in the Premier League. Maybe a little small for Chelsea’s preferred style.
