Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were all unsuccessful at Stamford Bridge, and the London club has had a terrible time in recent years with attackers.
The line’s current leader, Nicolas Jackson, is showing to be hit or miss as he scored against Luton but squandered opportunities in other games, most notably the weekend loss to Nottingham Forest.
