5 Strikers who might replace Alvaro Morata at Chelsea

#4. Olivier Giroud / Michy Batshuayi / Tammy Abraham

Will one of the existing 3 get a proper run?

Apart from Morata, Chelsea have three strikers on their books and all of them did pretty well last season in their different roles. So instead of bringing in someone new, one of them could be trusted to lead the line.

Olivier Giroud was given a decent stretch of games to prove his utility towards the end of the season. He is a proven goal scorer and a strong centre forward in the mould of Blues legend Didier Drogba. His 'scorpion' goal is a testament to his talent. Despite being 30+ he could be a stop gap arrangement if Chelsea don't get someone else.

Despite scoring the title winning goal in the 2016-17 season, Michy Batshuayi has never been given a good run in the team. He has made over 50 appearances for the Blues but most of them have come off the bench. Conte has preferred to use a false number 9 rather than start with this Belgian whizkid. Sent out on loan in the winter transfer window to Borussia Dortmund, he shined with 7 goals in 10 appearances before getting injured. Can his off the pitch camaraderie with Eden Hazard turn into a reliable partnership on the pitch?

At just 20 years of age, Tammy Abraham is another player in the long lost of Chelsea players being sent out on loan to gain first team experience. At Swansea City he played 39 games last season getting some much needed playing time under his belt. While his goal tally of 8 might not sound impressive it came with a side which got relegated from the Premier League. Raw but hugely talented he can turn into a real goalscorer with the right guidance.

Chelsea have not been very keen on giving any of these three a regular run in the starting XI but with no Champions League football on offer, they might have to make do with whatever resources they have on their roster.
