Chelsea may well be interested in a move for former Arsenal striker Robin van Persie, according to reports in Turkey.
The Dutchman has had an unsettled time with Fenerbahce and is supposedly open to making a move back to England.
With Chelsea being arguably short of quality attacking options, Fotomac believe Van Persie could be a serious possibility for a move to Stamford Bridge and the Blues.
It has been suggested in recent days/weeks that Radamel Falcao’s loan-deal could be finished early, with Valencia a possible destination for the Colombian, and this would certainly open the door for another experienced striker to join the ranks.
Van Persie currently has 4 goals in his 8 Super Lig appearances – not a terrible strike rate by all accounts.
With just 16 goals from 12 league games, it’s clear to see why Jose Mourinho might well be thinking through his attacking personnel options.
One of those could well be England U21 forward Saido Berahino, who was linked to Chelsea yesterday in a £20m move.
He fits a slightly different mould to Van Persie, with less experience and plenty of development needed, but has proved he can score goals in the Premier League.
Whether the reports of a massive squad overhaul are true remains to be seen, but nobody would be surprised to see Chelsea pick up another striker to aid their potency in front of goal – an area severely lacking at present.
The Blues face Norwich on Saturday – a fixture they’ll be hoping to get back to winning ways in.
