As you’ve all probably heard, Chelsea striker Diego Costa was dropped in the recent game against Leicester after falling out with medical staff and head coach Antonio Conte.

Costa has been linked with a big move away from Stamford Bridge to the Chinese Super League.

While Costa has recently returned to training with the first team after reportedly patching things up with Antonio Conte, he has rejected Chelsea’s recent contract extension and looks set to move at the end of the season.

With Costa almost certain to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer I’ve compiled a list of the five forwards Chelsea should sign to replace him. This is in order from number five being the least likely to Number one being the most likely to sign for Chelsea. Enjoy!
