Having seen Diego Costa limp off the pitch during the 1-0 win over Arsenal, Chelsea woes in the striker department continues, as they frantically search for cover for the Spaniard.
Although the knock to the 27-year-old was confirmed as merely bruising, the former Atletico Madrid man has struggled with fitness as of late, thus resulting in rumors linking the Blues with the likes of Alexandre Pato.
Guus Hiddink’s crew, though, look to have found another ideal signing in Turkey’s Super Lig.
According to the latest transfer reports, the reigning English Premier League champions have turned their attentions towards former Man United forward Robin Van Persie.
The Dutchman, who currently plies his trade at Fenerbahce, has been enduring a torrid time at the Şükrü Saraçoğlu Stadium despite only making the switch from Old Trafford this season.
However, as reported by The Express, Chelsea's move for Van Persie is only a back-up option in case they fail to sign Pato.
The Corinthians’ striker, on loan at Sao Paulo, arrived in London on Tuesday and is due to have a medical at Chelsea on Wednesday.
Although a deal has reportedly already been reached with the former AC Milan ace, he will put pen to paper on a six-month deal worth £30,000-a-week, with the option of turning his stay into a three-year deal worth £12m.
