Chelsea must sign a new striker to compete for silverware next season, Graeme Souness claims.
“I’ve said all year, I don’t think Chelsea are far away,” Souness said on Sky Sports after Chelsea’s loss at Liverpool on Sunday.
“Imagine [Didier] Drogba today in that team, or even [Diego] Costa in that team today.
“It’s a very different Chelsea, you’d have that focal point, someone that will take the centre-backs on physically.
“Now the problem for Chelsea going forward, the owner would appear to be disinterested in it now, he’ll feel he’s been let down by our government, no longer would appear to want to invest the big bucks anymore and that’s the problem for Chelsea going forward.
“But, at the start of the season they had Morata who wasn’t good enough, Giroud is still there who doesn’t do enough for me and obviously the manager saw it that way.
“It just depends how much interest the owner has and how much investment the owner makes.”
