Chelsea Linked With Emenike - Why He Isn't What They Need

Chelsea have all but confirmed the signing of Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid. This adds to the two strikers they already have at the club in the shape of Demba Ba and Fernando Torres. Some might say that is a fantastic amount of depth, as all have proved they are capable of scoring goals on a regular occasion.

Arsenal like a striker that can hold up play and let the supporting cast feed off him. Olivier Giroud is great at it, but he's criticised for his short-comings in front of goal.
