Chelsea have submitted an offer for Hoffenheim striker Maximilian Beier according to journalist Florian Plettenberg.
The Blues have been active in the window so far with seven new faces coming through the door, whilst goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen and teenage defender Aaron Anselmino are set to complete their moves to the club.
Despite signing Marc Guiu from Barcelona the Stamford Bridge outfit are reportedly still in the market for a striker to compete with Nicolas Jackson, and have been strongly linked with Victor Osimhen again this week.

The Blues, who are currently on their pre-season tour of America have been linked with a host of names across Europe as they look for a new striker.
