Chelsea should sign Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, according to Jamie Redknapp.
Mitrovic, signed from Newcastle during the summer after a brilliant spell on loan at Fulham last season, has made a great start to the Premier League campaign for the Whites.
The Serbian has recently been linked with neighbours Chelsea, who have been tipped to bring in a forward in January.
Alvaro Morata continues to struggle in front of goal and there have also been doubts over Olivier Giroud’s future.
And former Tottenham and England midfielder Redknapp, now a pundit, believes Mitrovic could be what the Blues need up front.
“He was brilliant leading the line for Fulham against Watford. Gone is the loose cannon who looked like a walking red card when he was at Newcastle,” Redknapp wrote in the Daily Mail.
“He has done a lot of growing up in the last three years. Mitrovic is as strong as an ox, brings people into play and is using his aggression in the right way.
“He has five goals already this season and I believe he could play for one of the top Premier League clubs.
“Fulham fans won’t thank me for saying this but he would be a perfect fit for Chelsea. Mitrovic is more physical than Alvaro Morata and has more pace than Olivier Giroud.
“As a successor to Didier Drogba and Diego Costa, Mitrovic could fit the bill.”
