Chelsea are actively reinforcing their squad, bringing together a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title.
Frank Lampard gave a good account of his managerial abilities. His first season in charge of Chelsea saw them secure Champions League qualification without dipping into the transfer market.
Manchester United stole a late march on them and the Blues hierarchy does not want a repeat. In fact, they have confidence in Lampard’s abilities that they are actively putting together a title-challenging squad.
Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner have already arrived. The duo will be soon be joined by Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz.
Gus Poyet believes that the reinforcements make Chelsea prime contenders for the Premier League title. The Uruguayan manager feels Lampard’s side would have underperformed if they slip out of top-two.
Poyet is optimistic about Lampard’s reign at Stamford Bridge. He is rooting for the Chelsea legend to add more silverware to their trophy cabinet.
“Now we are coming to a moment when it looks like Chelsea are really going to invest,” Poyet told the Sky Sports’ Transfer Show. “It changes the parameters completely from last year. Last year was a transition year, ‘let’s see how we do’, and it was very good.
“With the possibility of all these players coming in now, Chelsea needs to aim top two, if not winning the league.
“How ambitious he (Lampard) is, I think he would prefer this, I think he would prefer players coming in and going for the big possibilities. “I don’t think he wanted to be at Chelsea just playing with young kids and being allowed not to win trophies.
“I think Frank wants to win trophies and these kinds of players will give him the chance to get closer.”
