Carragher expresses shock over Chelsea’s form despite splashing £275m in the summer

Former football star Jammie Carragher has reacted to Chelsea’s current form which has seen them drop to the 8th spot on the league table this season.

Speaking about Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday, Carragher stressed it would be difficult to believe that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly spent £275M over the summer.

Chelsea’s defeat to Newcastle United is their third defeat in a row in all competitions as they had lost to Arsenal and Brighton in their previous matches.

Recall that the Blues new owners led by Boehly, spent the sum of £275 million during the summer transfer window that saw them sign Wesley Fofana from Leicester City, Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli, Marc Cucurella from Brighton and Raheem Sterling from Manchester City, And Pierre-Emerick Aaubameyang from Barcelona.

“Eddie Howe is getting more from his players than any other manager in the PL. While you can’t believe Chelsea spent 275m in the summer, on a team that was very good in the last couple of years,” Carragher, a former Liverpool and England defender wrote on Twitter.
