Chelsea striker Armando Broja was injured during a mid-season friendly against Aston Villa and the Blues could now sign Memphis Depay as a potential replacement.
According to a report from the AthleticThe Dutch international striker is an option for Chelsea during the January transfer window and it will be interesting to see if they can agree a deal with Barcelona for the 28-year-old.
Depay has had a rough time at the Spanish club this season and has only played three games for them in all competitions.
The 28-year-old had an impressive season with a Spanish team last year and managed to score 13 goals in all competitions. There is no doubt that he could be a quality addition to the Chelsea attack in the short term.
The player has played before in the Premier League with Manchester United, but had a very bad time at Old Trafford. He will be determined to prove his worth in English football and a move to Chelsea could appeal to the player.
Chelsea are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements at the moment and someone like Depay could be a useful option for Graham Potter. The Dutch international can operate anywhere in the forward three and will add creativity and goals to the side.
Plus, he’s experienced enough to make an immediate impact at Stamford Bridge, and it remains to be seen if the Blues can get the deal done.

Depay will be desperate to join a club that can give him regular first-team action and Chelsea could certainly provide him with that platform.
The Blues have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as their only striker at the moment, and the former Arsenal star has not been in his prime. Depay will surely love his chances of keeping a starting job at Stamford Bridge.
Depay has done well at the World Cup for the Netherlands scoring once and helping them reach the quarterfinals of the competition.
