Chelsea are expected to be very busy in the summer transfer window, despite growing uncertainties around the club's ownership, as Thomas Tuchel attempts to continue the process of moulding the squad into one that resembles his identity.

The Blues will be in the market for defensive reinforcements since doubts continue to arise regarding the status of many first-team members.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are all out of contract at the end of this season and don't look likely at this stage to commit their long-term futures at Stamford Bridge.

The west Londoners are also expected to invest in their frontline, despite the fact that substantial money has already been spent in this department.

Club record signing Romelu Lukaku has so far flattered to deceive in a Chelsea shirt so it wouldn't be surprising at all to see Tuchel bring in a new striker in the upcoming window.

But perhaps that new forward to lead the line is already at the club and goes by the name of Armando Broja.

On loan at Southampton, the 20-year-old has been in fine form for the Saints this season and has managed nine goals for Ralph Hasenhüttl's men.

His latest finish came against West Ham in Southampton's 3-1
