Chelsea may not be done adding to their attack this window, even after finalising a deal with Strasbourg for Emanuel Emegha.
One name linked with a move is Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Jorgen Strand Larsen, who is reportedly available and could fit what the Blues are looking for.
Journalist Simon Phillips reported that Chelsea showed interest in the 25-year-old following Liam Delap’s hamstring injury at the end of the last window and has now provided an update on that situation.
Chelsea have cooled their interest in Jorgen Strand Larsen
Speaking on Si Phillips Talks Chelsea, Phillips explained that the Club World Cup holders have cooled their interest in Strand Larsen.
Phillips has also reported that even though the Blues have taken another look at Strand Larsen this season, they have not been as impressed this time around.
Right now, it looks like Delap, Joao Pedro, and Marc Guiu will remain Chelsea’s main options up front.
Emegha is expected to be added into the mix next summer, which would give them plenty of depth. But whether Liam Rosenior will feel that is enough quality remains to be seen.
If the club wants to add another forward, sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley would likely need to move a couple of players out first.
How Jorgen Strand Larsen has fared this season
It has been a rough season for both Strand Larsen and Wolves, with the club rooted to the bottom of the table after collecting just six points from their first 20 games.
The Norwegian forward has not managed to make much of an impact either, finding the net only once in 18 appearances. Last season he scored 14 goals in 35 games, a tally that seems far out of reach this time around.
Even so, reaching 14 goals for a struggling Wolves side was no small feat. For comparison, Nicolas Jackson finished the previous campaign with 10 league goals.
Despite that, it appears Chelsea have their reservations about adding another striker to their roster ahead of next season.
