Jose Mourinho keen to acquire new striker

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has hinted at a
major overhaul of his forward line this
summer.
Mourinho ruled his side out of this season's
Premier League title race after the 1-0 defeat
by Crystal Palace on Saturday despite them
only losing top spot to Liverpool 24 hours
later.
The reverse at Selhurst Park again brought his
side's relative struggle in front of goal into
focus, with the majority of their league goals
having come from attacking midfielders Eden
Hazard, Oscar and Andre Schurrle.
Samuel Eto'o has scored only eight times,
Fernando Torres just four and Demba Ba has
been on target three times in limited Premier
League appearances.
Mourinho could look to give Romelu Lukaku –
he has scored 12 times for Everton on loan
this season – a chance to shine and he is
continually linked with a move for prolific
Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa as well as
a host of other strikers.
"I don't think it's the moment to speak about
next season and the market but it's clear to
everybody that Chelsea next year wants to
bring a striker," said Mourinho.
"What's the future for the other strikers? The
ones who are staying are competing with the
striker we are bringing [in]. And normally, at
the end of the season, players that are not
playing a lot or players who are not happy
may prefer a change.
"That is also part of the market. We want to
improve the team and the players and make
some surgical movements in the transfer
window.
"It's also clear that we want to improve our
players. I can't and I don't need to improve
(Branislav) Ivanovic, (Gary) Cahill, John Terry.
"There are other guys I need to improve. I
think we are doing that step by step, but it's
not enough to be champions."
