Chelsea are still considering replacements for Diego Costa despite Antonio Conte reintegrating the striker into training.
A summer move to China is still on the cards for the controversial Spanish international, so the Blues are lining up other strikers who can come in should he leave.
The London Evening Standard report that the club will make a renewed bid for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, though they could face stiff competition from his former side Juventus.
The 24-year-old has only featured for Los Blancos 12 times in La Liga this season, Zinedine Zidane recently seeming to prefer youngster Mariano despite Morata having scored five goals.
As the highly-rated Morata is a long-term target of Chelsea’s, it remains to be seen whether they can convince him to try his hand at English football.
Should that fail, the Sun report that Romelu Lukaku is also being considered.
The Belgian said in the summer that he had “unfinished business” at Stamford Bridge, having left in 2014 after struggling to make the first team.
The 23-year-old has hit 13 goals for Everton in all competitions this term and is the focal point of Ronald Koeman’s attack.
Chelsea have already made attempts to re-sign him in the past, but Jose Mourinho did not include a buy-back clause when he sold him previously.
