William Gallas has named the striker Enzo Maresca should sign to put Chelsea ‘on top’ once again.

Maresca welcomed two strikers to Stamford Bridge last summer, with Joao Pedro joining from Brighton and Liam Delap arriving from Ipswich Town.

Chelsea spent a combined £90m to sign Pedro and Delap but the pair have only contributed four goals in the Premier League so far this season.

Pedro has fared slightly better than Delap but is still yet to hit the levels he reached at Brighton, where he scored 30 goals in 70 appearances.

A number of clubs were keen to activate Delap’s £30m Ipswich release clause but Chelsea fans have been disappointed with his efforts at Stamford Bridge, with the 22-year-old scoring just once and struggling with injury issues.
