The Blues have been linked with a number of new strikers this month
Eden Hazard has stated that Chelsea don't need to bring a new striker to Stamford Bridge this month.
Following a run of three successive 0-0 draws for the Blues, Antonio Conte's team found their shooting boots once again as they hit four goals in Saturday's devastating win at Brighton.
However, that's still not stopped the rumours about a new frontman moving to west London before the transfer deadline.
Andy Carroll and Peter Crouch were previously linked with a move to the Premier League champions, while reports yesterday suggested that the club were now looking at Leicester's Islam Slimani and Burnley's Ashley Barnes.
Given all the talk of a new striker ahead of the last 16 of the Champions League, Hazard feels the team are in a good position with Alvaro Morata and Michy Batshuayi.
Eden Hazard has urged Chelsea to not sign a new striker in the January transfer window. The Premier League champions are looking to sign a player to provide competition for Alvaro Morata, who is without a goal in his last six appearances.
Michy Batshuayi could also be allowed to leave on loan this month having failed to secure a regular role under Antonio Conte. Chelsea have held talks with Roma over a potential deal for Edin Dzeko, while Stoke City’s Peter Crouch and Burnley’s Ashley Barnes are also reportedly on the club’s striker shortlist.
But according to Hazard, Chelsea are not in need of a new addition in attack.
I think we have two very good strikers in Alvaro and Michy,’ said the Belgian. ‘If they are not ready to play I can play striker, so I don’t think we need [another striker].
Football is simple – keep the ball on the ground and try [to play] like we did. ‘Because we are missing chances people are saying we need another striker, but if we are scoring goals, we are the best attack in the league and no-one can say we need a striker. ‘It depends on the form of the team and I think we’re happy with the team we have.’
