Media outlets claimed that Chelsea could be interested in signing KSA Al Ittihad's Karim Benzema, and KSA Al Ahli's Roberto Firmino during the winter transfer window.

The Blues wish to support their forward position, despite investing more than £ 1 billion on players in the last two years. 

The team's forwards: Nicolas Jackson scored eight goals in 23 games in all competitions after joining from Villarreal, while Christopher Nkunku scored once in three Premier League appearances.

Therefore, Chelsea are among the teams that scored the fewest number of goals among the Premier League teams, along with Manchester United and West Ham.

Mail Sport reported last week that Chelsea are interested in Napoli’s striker Victor Osimhen.

But, according to The Telegraph, Firmino and Benzema can be signed by Chelsea.

The former Real Madrid striker reportedly left Al-Ittihad's training camp before the beginning of the winter games in Dubai.

The 2022 Ballon d'Or winner signed a three-year deal worth £ 258 million with the Saudi club in the summer, however, the fans of the Saudi club are disappointed with the performance of Banzema.
