Chelsea are reportedly part of an exclusive group of teams able to trigger the release clause of a striker who’s scored 29 goals this season.
The Blues came from a goal down to score two very late goals to win the game 2-1 against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon in what was a very dramatic game of ups and downs. But for 80 minutes, it was a lot of downs for Chelsea and the woes were continuing. Thankfully, they managed to get two late goals from individual brilliance to win the game.
Still, manager Enzo Maresca did not celebrate the Chelsea win over with the away fans like all the players did at the end of the game, which was very odd. But he has explained his reasoning for this in the post match press conference, although it wont wash.
The fans were furious throughout most of the game though and certainly let the manager and the players know this at half time and throughout the game. Pedro Neto responded to the fan anger in his post-match comments after the game on Sunday.
The summer transfer window is now right upon us once again, and Chelsea are one of the clubs looking to be very busy in the market. They want a new striker as priority.

Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy has been scoring for fun again this season, and he might be an option for Chelsea.
The Bundesliga striker has now got 29 goals and 8 assists this season for Dortmund, but he has a release clause that comes in to play for certain clubs this summer.
According to exclusive Sky information, the option is valid for top Spanish clubs Real Madrid and FC Barcelona , as well as English clubs Manchester United , Manchester City , Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
