Chelsea signings faulted

Former Man Utd defender, Rio Ferdinand has faulted some signings Chelsea made in the last couple of transfer windows.

Chelsea under American billionaire Todd Boehly have splashed six hundred million pounds to sign new players during just two transfer windows.

The Blues have a deal in place to bring RB Leipzig forward, Christopher Nkunku to Stamford Bridge in a deal worth £53 million.

Last season Nkunku scored 35 goals in all competitions and has scored 17 in all competitions so far this season.

However, he has not been playing as a traditional striker and for this reason, Ferdinand is not convinced he is the answer to Chelsea’s lack of goals.

“They’ve got Nkunku coming in the summer, but again he’s not an out-and-out number nine,” he said on BT Sport.

“He’s coming up as a young player coming off the wide areas, or playing as a 10 in a free role behind the striker. So the balance in the squad isn’t there.”
