Former Liverpool man, Danny Murphy, has predicted that Chelsea will finish outside the Premier League top-four next season under their new manager Mauricio Pochettino if they fail to sign three experienced players.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Murphy also expressed his worry for Chelsea, as the Blues are busy trimming their bloated squad, with N’Golo Kante one of several players heading to Saudi Arabia and Mateo Kovacic on his way to Manchester City.
Recall that Chelsea finished in the bottom-half of the Premier League for the first time in almost 30 years last season.
“Chelsea are losing a lot of players, they are trimming the squad, which I think is what most fans want,” Murphy said on the FIVE YouTube channel.
“There’s a few players off to Saudi – Kante, [Kalidou] Koulibaly, possibly [Edouard] Mendy and [Hakim] Ziyech. Kovacic looks like he is going to Man City.
“Although I do think that is the right thing to do, when you look at the squad and the spine of the team, I’m not sure they are as strong as some people think.
“I worry for Chelsea in the midfield area. I know they need goals but they’ve got options in the forward positions. They’ve lost Kante and Kovacic so they need midfielders.
“There’s going to be some money spent but unless they make two or three really experienced signings, I don’t see them getting back in the top-four next season.”
