Chelsea's pursuit of Romelu Lukaku is expected to come to an end after Inter Milan rejected two bids for the Belgian attacker. Inter Milan is reportedly unwilling to trade their best asset this summer at any price, with Lukaku himself ready to extend his stay with the Serie A champions. Chelsea will have to concentrate their efforts elsewhere in order to improve their frontline ahead of the new season.

Let's take a look at three strikers Chelsea should be targeting this summer to help them win the Premier League:

1. Jonathan David (Lille): Last season, Jonathan David was a key player in Lille's Ligue 1 victory. In 37 appearances, the 21-year-old scored 13 goals, breaking the record for most goals scored by a Canadian in any of Europe's top five leagues. Due to their financial situation, Lille is under pressure to sell some of their best players. Mike Maignan and Boubakary Soumare are among those who have already left, and David could be the next.
According to TSN Sports' Matthew Scianitti, Lille is looking to trade Canadian striker Jonathan David to raise finances due to the club's financial difficulties. David is high on Liverpool's list of potential strikers. Liverpool has been keeping a close eye on the Canadian's progress for a long time.

The Canadian has exceptional speed and dribbling ability. He is direct and enjoys racing into the box to keep defenders on their toes. He isn't the best finisher, but he has plenty of time to improve that facet of his game at the age of 21.

He will likely prove to be a wise long-term investment for Chelsea.

2. Dusan Vlahovic (Fiorentina): The 21-year-old Fiorentina striker is widely regarded as one of the world's most talented young attackers. Last season, Vlahovic made headlines for his prolific performances for Fiorentina, scoring 21 goals in 37 league games, becoming the first Fiorentina player to score at least 16 goals in a single season since Giuseppe Rossi in 2013-14.
Vlahovic, who is 6'3′′, will provide an aerial threat to Chelsea, which has been missing since Olivier Giroud's departure; last season, the Serbian won 3.1 aerial duels per game. He's also technically sound and able to communicate effectively with his colleagues.

3. Danny Ings (Southampton): Given that he is in the final year of his contract, Danny Ings will be available at a bargain. Ings has been in outstanding form for Southampton in recent seasons, attracting interest from a number of prominent European clubs.
In 100 appearances for Southampton, the 29-year-old England international has 46 goals and 10 assists, remarkable stats for a team that has finished in the bottom half of the standings the previous three seasons. Ings failed during his last term at a major club, scoring four goals in 25 appearances for Liverpool, and he'll be eager to show he has what it takes to succeed at the top level.

Do you think these strikers are a good option?

When making signings as a big club,form isn't the only criteria they consider. Big names is considered too because it has a psychological impact on both the opponents ,and your own team . It gives a scare in front of opponents and causes them to make panic moves that may cause them mistakes and opens up a loophole that will hurt them.
