Reaction: ‘Not afraid to shoot’, ‘Happily take him’ – How some Chelsea fans have reacted to potential Serie A striker signing

With only days left of the transfer window, the Blues are still yet to make a signing. Fans have had their say on what the club needs with a number of positions to strengthen.

One key role to fill is a new striker. Olivier Giroud is increasingly likely to head away from West London, leaving the Blues with Michy Batshuayi as the only available back up to Tammy Abraham.

The feeling amongst many is that Batshuayi isn’t good enough to be first-choice, and to top it off Abraham is currently injured.

Edinson Cavani has been continuously linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. The Uruguayan is nearing the end of his contract with PSG, and handed in a transfer request last week. A fee plus huge wages appears to be a stumbling block as far as potential suitors are concerned.

The latest name to be linked is Krzysztof Piatek. The Polish striker joined AC Milan from Genoa this time last year after a great start to the season. The 24-year-old netted 19-goals in 21-appearances for the Red and Blues, before adding a further 11-goals, in 21-appearances for Milan.

Despite a great season overall, Piatek has failed to find that form again this season. The Independent are claiming Chelsea have been given an option to sign the Pole for £28m. Tottenham are also said to be interested, but have baulked at the fee.

Here’s how some Chelsea fans have reacted to the potential signing:

Piatek is a very physical striker, a fox in the box, an old fashioned marksman. His best attribute is his aerial threat. You have to feel he’d add greatly to the Blues forward line, and at a price that must be considered low risk in the current market.
