The Blues have made an underwhelming start to the new season under Mauricio Pochettino.
Jamie Carragher believes Chelsea’s squad is far from perfect despite their massive spending in the last two transfer windows.
Since Todd Boehly’s takeover last summer, Chelsea have spent a staggering £800m on new players. This summer, the Blues broke the English transfer record to sign Moises Caicedo as part of their £350m spending to improve their squad.
Chelsea’s first two games in the new Premier League season, however, has been anything but impressive. After a 1-1 draw against Liverpool, the Blues lost 3-1 against ten-man West Ham last weekend, with most of their new signings struggling to live up to expectations.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said the Blues are not ready to push for the title this season.
“I still think they need a goalkeeper, even though they just signed Sanchez,” the former Liverpool star said. “They probably still need a top centre-half because Thiago Silva’s 38. I don’t think there’s a real out-and-out goalscorer. Your goalscorer doesn’t have to be your centre-forward, Liverpool’s is Salah who plays on the right-wing so it’s not a dig at Jackson.”
Following their defeat against West Ham, Chelsea prepare to take on Luton Town at Stamford Bridge next Friday.
