Thomas Tuchel insists he is not looking for one specific striker for Chelsea.

The new Blues boss has Timo Werner, Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham as his striker options at Stamford Bridge.

Having worked with Kylian Mbappe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the past, the German doesn't believe in a perfect striker.

"There is no perfect striker out there," Tuchel said, via Goal.

"There are a lot of dangerous guys out there, a lot of strong guys out there and we have some in our squad.

"Does it help if we look now to any other squad and have the feeling that the grass is greener on the other side? No, because we have guys here who can score.

"The good thing about arriving in the middle of the season is you don't lose your head by thinking about other players; you focus your energy on developing the potential that we have. And we have potential.

"[Against Barnsley] it was very hard to score because we had only nine touches in the box. This is way too less for what we demand of ourselves and we have to work on that.

"And we have to push the numbers up to the numbers that they were against Tottenham and Sheffield and from there we need to get known to the players a little bit better and it comes every day.

"We will find maybe some formations where it is easier for us to score or for the strikers to bring them in good positions."
