Chelsea has added Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, and Hakim Ziyech to their offensive ranks, making them scary prospects for rivals.
Frank Lampard qualified for UEFA Champions League in his debut campaign at the Stamford Bridge. The fact that he managed it without dipping in the transfer market makes his achievements even more impressive.
The Blues hierarchy have placed their trust in the midfield legend, adding firepower and depth to his squad. As many as six first-team additions have been made with more on their way.
It is their attack that will scare rivals, according to former winger Pat Nevin. Pulisic, Havertz, and Werner along with Mount, Abraham and Hudson-Odoi will allow them to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City.
“You have got the top two and Chelsea will be nipping at their heels,” Nevin told BBC Sport.
“It is not just the fact they have spent money, it is the way they have done it – having Timo Werner and Kai Havertz to go with Christian Pulisic is kind of scary, but probably more for the next three or four seasons as opposed to this one because they will need to settle in.
“So, they are looking good. Everyone knows their problem has been defensively, and the center-back position might still be one.
“A lot of people say goalkeeper is as well – and it may be – but I don’t think it is the reason they conceded so many goals last season; that was a wider defensive issue.
“I have a feeling they may concede just as many this season but will score a hell of a lot more.”
Chelsea begin their Premier League campaign on the road at Amex Arena. The Blues were held to a 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion in their first preseason fixture.
