Chelsea To Battle Real Madrid For World-Class Striker

Chelsea are looking to replace fiery Spaniard Diego Costa this summer. Antonio Conte is in the market for a new striker after dumping current star forward Diego Costa by text.Chelsea are interested in signing Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski, according to reports.

The Poland striker’s future is up in the air after his agent revealed his “disappointment” in Bayern this season. The Blues will now consider battling Real Madrid for his signature.

Lewandowski would be a perfect replacement for the fiery Spaniard Diego Costa.

The former Borussia Dortmund hitman is a handful for defenders physically, while also bringing flair and, most importantly, goals to the table.Robert Lewandowski scored 43 goals for Bayern Munich last season.

Lewandowski, who scored 43 goals for Bayern in all competitions last season, would be an alternative to top targets Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata.

Chelsea are reluctant to meet Everton's £100million evaluation for Lukaku, and face competition from Manchester United for Real ace Morata.

But Blues chief Roman Abramovich would find himself digging deep into his pockets to convince Bayern to sell their No.9. The Polish striker is contracted at the Allianz Arena until 2021, having signed a new contract in December.
