Chelsea went big by securing Timo Werner in the summer. Despite impressing, the German has failed to translate performances into goals.

Bringing in another striker could see Werner pushed out to the left. While he is competent on the wing, it comes at the cost of his prolific nature showcased when played up front. (h/t Transfermarkt)
