The Chelsea, under the management of Enzo Maresca, is determined to strengthen its offense despite the talent already available. With a clear goal of improving their performance after finishing sixth in the Premier League last season, the Blues are looking to bring in two young prospects: Nico Williams and Samu Omorodion.

Christopher Nkunku, who showcased glimpses of his potential in the Premier League, could be shifted to the right-wing if Chelsea successfully signs Omorodion from Atlético de Madrid. This 20-year-old forward, who scored eight goals during his loan spell at Alavés last season, has caught the eye of the London club. However, as reported by 'Express', to secure his signature, Chelsea would have to pay around 65-70 million euros, a substantial sum for a player who has yet to debut for Atleti's first team and is currently competing in the Olympics with Spain.

On the other hand, Nico Williams, the rapid winger from Athletic Bilbao, is another top target. Williams was a key contributor to Spain's victory in the Euro 2024, and his release clause of 58 million euros could be activated at any time. The combination of Omorodion and Williams in the attack promises to be a lethal formula for any opposing defense.

They fit perfectly into the profile that Enzo Maresca wants at Chelsea

If Maresca maintains his 4-3-3 formation, we could see an offensive trio composed of Omorodion in the center, Nkunku on the right, and Williams on the left, surely exciting Chelsea fans. Additionally, Cole Palmer could play a crucial role in the midfield, providing the necessary creativity to feed these talented forwards.

However, the arrivals of these new talents could relegate players like Mykhaylo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, Raheem Sterling, and Nicolas Jackson to the bench. Likewise, it is expected that Romelu Lukaku and Armando Broja will leave the club before the transfer window closes, with Napoli interested in Lukaku and AC Milan and Everton closely monitoring Broja.

In summary, Chelsea is prepared to make a significant investment in Williams and Omorodion, aiming to build a formidable and rejuvenated attack for the upcoming season. The English team would spend nearly 130 million euros on these two signings, although it is uncertain whether they can finalize them as they do not hold an advantage over the clubs actively pursuing their signings.
