Gossip: Chelsea tipped to move for Vardy or Lewandowski – Sunday Express

The transfer speculation involving Chelsea in Sunday’s newspapers…

Former Chelsea star Dennis Wise believes the club will target Leicester striker Jamie Vardy or Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski, the Sunday Express say.

Wise told the newspaper that either forward would be a useful signing for the Blues during next month’s transfer window.

Wise said: “Chelsea will want a striker. Someone who can score goals and at the moment we haven’t got someone who will get 25 goals a season.

“Unfortunately not loads of them about, so it’s about getting the right one. There are a couple of goalscorers they should be willing to pay for, like Lewandowski or Jamie Vardy.”
