Chelsea Eyes New Striker Before Transfer Deadline: Maresca
Chelsea's coach, Enzo Maresca, indicated that the club might sign a new number nine before the transfer window closes if it improves the squad.

Chelsea is not deterred from acquiring a new number nine before the transfer window deadline if the addition enhances the squad, as affirmed by coach Enzo Maresca on Friday.
The West London club has already invested over 160 million pounds ($210.7 million) in new signings, including winger Pedro Neto, forward Joao Felix, midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Swedish-Danish goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen. Strikers Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson are current options, with Marc Guiu also joining from Barcelona.
Maresca clarified the club's strategy, highlighting that they would only sign a player if it brings significant improvement. The team is set to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday, where former Wolves player Neto might feature. Joao Felix, having returned to Chelsea, is also expected to play.
