Chelsea seems to be having a goal drought this year, so any Blues supporters may not want to hear what Fabrizio Romano had to say about a deal they might have made in the summer that would have given them a lot more punch up front.

Romano’s post even includes a shady altered image of the player, who only turned 16 last month, sporting a City uniform, a necessary component of every transfer rumor in today’s day and age.
