“Please make this two signing and compete for titles next season” – Owen Hargreaves warns Chelsea not to miss our these two signings ahead of next season
Owen Hargreaves has cautioned Chelsea that if they don’t recruit a new goalkeeper and striker this summer, they would suffer once more the following campaign.
“They’re probably delighted to get Reece James back,” Hargreaves told Premier League Productions after Chelsea’s win over Forest.
“He’s such a talented player, probably could be one of the best right-backs in the world but they’ve got to find a way to keep him fit.
“I think if they can work on finding a centre-forward in the summer, sort out the goalkeeping position, they’ve got some amazing young talents there, it would be really interesting to see what Chelsea do next season because I honestly don’t have a clue how they’re going to play.
“Don’t spend money – just get a goalkeeper, get a striker.
“Find some leaders within the group, they’re almost all at the same age, at the same point in their career, I don’t think that’s a good thing.
“I think when you’re a team and you’re young and you’re struggling, you need reference points. You need leaders and I don’t think they have that outside Thiago Silva.
“Right now they’re in great form, that’s good but I think they could have another tricky season next season if they don’t address key positions.”
