Chelsea set to turn to the Championship as striker search becomes desperate

Chelsea are one of the clubs keeping tabs on Jack Clarke, according to rumours in the Birmingham Mail.

The forward has been playing a bit part under Marcelo Bielsa this term, having made his breakthrough under Thomas Christiansen in the last campaign.

Quick, technical and two footed, our scouts may have noticed him while keeping tabs on Izzy Brown and Lewis Baker, who we have on loan at Elland Road.

At just 18 and still not a regular for the Yorkshire club, he would be one for the future rather than direct competition for Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud. We might even look to loan him straight back to the second tier.

Then again, if we’re looking at young English forwards in the Championship, there’s this guy called Tammy Abraham at Villa we should think about. He’s bagged a few goals already this season and looks ready to step up to Premier League action…
