A relatively cheaper option, Boakye is a Ghanaian international who plays as a striker for the Serbian club Red Star Belgrade. He has impressed everyone at Red Star Belgrade in a very short time span and due to his performances, numerous clubs are interested in signing him with Chelsea considering him as a potential signing in the winter transfer window.

Boakye had previously worked with Conte at Juventus and admires him a lot. He has told an Italian outlet that he will be delighted to play for Conte again. At the age of 24, he has hit 34 goals in 42 games for Red Star Belgrade and his future certainly looks promising. It won't be a much worse choice if Conte wants to bring him as he can serve two things - one being the second choice striker Conte needs now and other is he can be developed more so that Chelsea fans can see him as a regular striker later.
