Diego Costa sat the bench on Saturday as Chelsea slumped to 0-0 draw in a London derby with Tottenham, an exclamation point on the fact that Chelsea needs help in their striker force. Chelsea have scored 17 goals and conceded 23 this season, as both the injury to Thibalt Courtois and the drop in form of Diego Costa have made things tough for the reigning English Premier League champions. The poor form in the English Premier League has been matched by weak Champions League performances as well and the Blues are looking for new options up top. This is a review of the top striker options for Chelsea. (Getty)
Jamie Vardy has nearly scored more goals this season than Chelsea has in the English Premier League, he has 14 goals, and could be the answer for Chelsea's offensive issues. Vardy scored in his 11th straight English Premier League game against Manchester United and teams from Real Madrid to Chelsea have been put on high alert for the English international. He would not be cheap for Chelsea and does not have the pedigree of other top options, but he is in form right now and would be an instant upgrade for Chelsea. (Getty)
Antoine Griezmann has been in great scoring form over the last two seasons for Atletico Madrid in Spain and could be the answer in Chelsea's scoring issues. Rumors earlier this year had Griezmann in Blue and a new rumor involving Diego Costa may have the French talisman in London. Costa, an ex-Atletico player, may be headed back to the Spanish capital, funding a swap for Griezmann. The 24-year-old has scored 10 goals in 18 matches for Atletico Madrid this season and would be a strong improvement for the London side. (Getty)
Saido Berahino has been a target of many English Premier League teams over the last two transfer windows and the England U-21 player may be headed across London to the Blues. Berahino would be a shock to the system for Chelsea, as teams like Tottenham have aggressively chased the England international as well. The 22-year-old has been linked with many teams, but would be a good secondary option for Chelsea. (Getty)
