Chelsea are so confident of having their transfer ban lifted in time for the January window that they are already lining up moves for a new striker to arrive midseason, according to sources, ESPN reports.
Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson and Leipzig forward Timo Werner are candidates to come to Stamford Bridge and compete with Tammy Abraham for a starting spot.
England international Wilson, 27, has scored five goals in nine Premier League appearances so far this season, while 23-year-old Werner has netted eight time for Leipzig and once for Germany already
this term.
The Sun reports that Chelsea's legal team believe their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport will lift the second part of the FIFA-imposed transfer ban, which already saw the Blues unable to make any signings in the summer.
