Chelsea are being linked with a summer swoop for Bayer Leverkusen's Stefan Kiessling as the Blues search for a new striker.

No matter who is in charge of the club next season, at least one new striker will be heading to the club as doubts surround the future of the mis-firing Fernando Torres.

Even if the Spaniard stays, Chelsea need more competition up front despite the January arrival of Demba Ba and reports claim that Kiessling is a target.

The 29-year-old is the leading goalscorer in the Bundesliga this season with 15 goals in 22 games but he could be on the move for as little as £6million as he looks to force a move away from the club.

Kiessling saw a January move to West Ham collapse but reports now claim his agent has been in touch with Chelsea in an attempt to line up a close-season deal.
