Chelsea legend Dennis Wise wants to see Jamie Vardy at Chelsea this winter.
Chelsea are open to signing a new striker in the January transfer window and Wise told Express Sport he’d be keen on Vardy or Bayer Munich’s Robert Lewandowski.
“Chelsea will want a striker,” Wise exclusively told Express Sport. “Someone who can score goals and at the moment we haven’t got someone who will get 25 goals a season.
“Unfortunately not loads of them about, so it’s about getting the right one. There are a couple of goalscorers they should be willing to pay for, like Lewandowski or Jamie Vardy.”

Chelsea and Milan are waiting on Juventus to give the green light to a swap deal between Alvaro Morata and Gonzalo Higuain.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri wants to sign Higuain and is willing to send flop Morata back to Italy to get the deal done.
But Gazzetta dello Sport claim Juventus still have to give the green light, as Higuain is still technically their player.
Milan signed Higuain last summer in a £16.2m loan deal, with an option to make it permanent at the end of the season for £32.4m.
All being well, the Blues and Milan can make a January swap, with Chelsea taking on the fee Milan owe Juve.

Man Utd Pogba plans
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will give Paul Pogba every chance possible to prove himself.
United face Cardiff today and Solskjaer may include Pogba in his starting XI - despite suggestions the Frenchman’s agent is trying to get him a January exit.
“He’s a World Cup winner,” Solskjaer said. “Paul is a terrific lad and when I had him as a kid.
“He hasn’t changed personality-wise. He’s a better player, of course, and he’s one that I want to get the best out of.
“You have so many quality players that I want to get the best out of. He’s no different to anyone else in that respect.”

Rangers eye Liverpool deal
Rangers are supposedly eyeing a deal to sign Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke in January.
Sky Sports pundit Andy Walker said: "I think what Steven Gerrard, as Brendan Rodgers will be doing, is looking for is some serious strengthening up front.
"I do wonder - and you hear this all the time - that possibly Dominic Solanke from Liverpool and there might be a bit of movement there.
"You just wonder if he might fancy a stint in Scotland where he undoubtedly play every week."

Ozil confusion
Unai Emery admits he is unaware of Mesut Ozil’s mega wages as a January transfer looms.
Ozil, who earns £350,000 a week at the Emirates, could leave the Gunners next month, having fallen out of favour with Emery.
The manager said: “For me the player’s salary is not important. I don’t know the player’s salary because, for me, it is the same — I want to give every player the same conversation or the same decision to play or not to play.
“The most important thing for me is the commitment. And when I decide on who plays or not, it is because of a tactical decision. So if you are asking is it different because one player is on a higher salary than the other, then for me it is the same.”
“I do not think about how people think outside [the club].
