# Chelsea target £30m rated AC Milan forward

Guus Hiddink is reportedly ready to splash the cash on a new look strike force in January.

According to the [Daily Star](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/486440/Manchester-United-Carlos-Bacca-Chelsea-Transfer-News-Signing-Rumour-Gossip-Latest), Hiddink is heavily reliant on Diego Costa and the Blues’ other two strikers, Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao have both been linked with moves away.

As a result of this, one man on Hiddink’s radar is AC Milan’s Carlos Bacca. The former Sevilla striker is valued at £30m after joining the Italian side in the summer for £22m.

Bacca has been in good form since joining the Serie A side, scoring eight in 18 appearances, more than any Chelsea striker this season. Any possible deal for the Colombian international would cost Chelsea, Bacca has three and a half years remaining on his contract.

The 29-year-old is reportedly keen on playing in the Premier League at some point in his career, with Sky Sports’ Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague saying:

> He likes the idea of coming to the Premier League, of course he has been abroad for a few years and would be happy to continue that progression abroad.
