5) Antonio Nusa

Chelsea had a £23m bid rejected for the Norwegian international right before the transfer window closed at the start of September.

Nusa is not, though, an out-and-out striker, with most of his game time for Club Brugge this season coming as a left winger.

He is also just 18 years of age, having scored 8 times in total since making his senior debut in 2021.

Nusa is simply not ready to lead the line for a club like Chelsea, who need an experienced no.9 right away.
