​Chelsea identify Icardi & Piatek as summer targets

Chelsea are aware of the lack of goal scoring prowess in the team right now.

Eden Hazard may be in the form of his life, but the other Blues attackers are not pulling their weight.

And the main issue is at centre-forward, where Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud are the only options. The Blues want to target one striker in the January window.

And the two players they are chasing are Mauro Icardi and Krzysztof Piatek, per the Evening Standard.

Icardi has a £97.5 million release clause, which may be beyond Chelsea's budget.

And Piaket's club Genoa are not in the mood to sell their star striker midway through the season.
