According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea is considering the idea of signing Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz this summer to potentially replace Kai Havertz and Mason Mount. Both Havertz and Mount, who play as attacking midfielders, are rumored to be leaving Stamford Bridge, with Havertz already completing his move to Arsenal and Mount reportedly heading to Manchester United.

The 20-year-old German international is highly regarded and considered a rising star in the Bundesliga, having already played 103 first-team matches for Leverkusen, scoring 23 goals and providing 30 assists.
While Wirtz’s potential arrival could excite Chelsea supporters, some may feel that signing a recognized striker, a proper No. 9, is equally important for the team. Having a striker to lead the line would complement the creativity and abilities of players like Wirtz and other attacking midfielders, providing a more balanced and potent attacking threat for Chelsea.
