Chelsea is planning to recruit Sporting Lisbon striker Conrad Harder after this team faces trouble in the attack.
Chelsea has a different plan besides Nicolas Jackson
Over the weekend, the Blues shocked when striker Liam Delap was injured in the match against Fulham. This incident caused the Chelsea leadership forced to reconsider the deal to Nicolas Jackson to Bayern Munich.
Earlier, the 24 -year -old striker was allowed to fly to Germany to check health, but Chelsea suddenly “changed his mind” at the last minute. According to Sunport, Jackson even stayed at Munich to promote the deal, despite the club's request to return to London.

Conrad Harder became Chelsea's target after Delap was injured |
However, according to The Athletic, an offer to buy for Jackson could still be considered by Chelsea in the last days of the transfer period. If this scenario happens, the London team will immediately promote the recruitment of a more striker.
Reporter David Ornstein revealed that Chelsea had a “approach” to the strikers, which highlighted Conrad Harder. The Danish player, 20, joined Sporting from Nordsjaelland last summer for £ 16.5 million. Last season, he mainly played a substitute for Viktor Gyokeres, only played 6 matches in the Portuguese league. However, after Gyokeres moved to Arsenal, Harder was given the number 9 shirt and the opportunity to assert himself.
This 1m85 tall striker had a debut for the Danish national team in March, when he came on the pitch instead of Patrick Dorgu in the Nations League against Portugal. He also scored 2 goals in the U21 European finals last summer, contributing to bringing Denmark in the quarterfinals.
In case of not being able to supplement the rookie, Chelsea will only have two options in attack, Joao Pedro and Nicolas Jackson. Notably, yesterday the Stamford Bridge team officially completed the £ 40 million deal to recruit Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United.
