CHELSEA are weighing up raids for Christian Benteke and Andy Carroll as backup options for Alvaro Morata.
The Blues splashed out a whopping £65m on Morata last summer.
Michy Batshuayi is chief reserve to Morata but isn’t trusted by Antonio Conte to play in the Premier League when the Spaniard isn’t fit.
Eden Hazard is often chosen to play up front in a ‘false nine’ role and Chelsea would prefer of more dependable striker to lead the line instead.




Fernando Llorente was a major target in the summer but rivals Tottenham beat the west Londoners to a deal with Swansea for the Spaniard.
Chelsea are still sniffing around potential targets, with Batshuayi looking for a loan exit in January.
The Belgian will want regular games to secure a spot in his country’s World Cup squad in Russia.
Sevilla are keen on getting 24-year-old on a six-month loan deal according to Goal, but Conte will want a new man on board before sanctioning any exit.
The Telegraph report Carroll and Benteke are two options Chelsea have looked at, but prising either player away is likely to prove tricky.



Like Belgium team-mate Batsyayi, Benteke will want regular games ahead of the World Cup and Crystal Palace will need him to spearhead their fight against relegation from the Premier League
West Ham are likely to fight to keep Carroll too.
He’s a proven top-flight performer and could score the goals that keep David Moyes’ side up.
Chelsea are next in action tomorrow when they take on Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg tie
