Chelsea are set to initiate discussions with PSG for Mauro Icardi, according to reports, as Thomas Tuchel looks for a backup striker. Chelsea are preparing to initiate talks with PSG for Mauro Icardi, according to journalist Ekrem Konur, as the Blues look to recruit a centre-forward in January as Thomas Tuchel looks for a trustworthy backup for Romelu Lukaku.
Chelsea is in desperate need of forwards. Lukaku's signing was viewed as completing a complex jigsaw puzzle, and the Belgian began delivering almost immediately. However, the striker has gone numerous games without scoring due to a recent goal slump.
Meanwhile, Timo Werner has proven to be untrustworthy, and Tuchel appears to be losing faith in his countryman. Since last season, the former RB Leipzig star has continued his pattern of squandering opportunities, missing a number of simple opportunities. While the manager believes Lukaku's position is certain, a trustworthy backup is now being sought for the Belgian.
