But it's not a striker - Fikayo Tomori

A defender from Chelsea
Brighton & Hove Albion have signed Chelsea and England under-20 right-back Fikayo Tomori on loan until the end of the current season.
The 19-year-old Canadian-born defender passed his medical at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre earlier this evening, and will link up with his new team-mates tomorrow ahead of the visit of Cardiff City.
Manager Chris Hughton commented, "We have brought in Fikayo on loan from Chelsea to provide us with some additional cover in the full-back positions, and we are delighted to welcome him to the club.
"He is a highly-rated young full-back, by both Chelsea and England; he is predominantly a right-back, but he can play in any position across the back four, and will give us good defensive cover for the first-team for the second half of the season.
"Currently we have a few minor injury issues in the full-back positions, so his arrival will also allow us to send Rob Hunt out on loan to gain valuable playing experience; at this stage of Rob's development, it will benefit his long-term progression to be playing regular senior football."
