ESPN detail Chelsea needs for the summer transfer window with one big addition

ESPN have been detailing the summer transfer needs for each club in the Premier League, and they have of course covered Chelsea.

The Blues are likely to be a bit busy again in the summer come the end of the season, with a few positions that they probably still need to strengthen in.

They’ve been very inconsistent this season, even if there have been some visible improvements under Liam Rosenior in the last ten plus games.

The article states that there is one big addition needed to this Chelsea squad in the summer – a few adults to the room.

The article states:

‘Chelsea‘s policy of investing heavily in young players brings some great benefits — but also some noted negatives. Chief among those is a lack of maturity and discipline running through the squad, which has resulted in a whopping seven red cards in the league this season (no other team has more than three). While it might break from policy, it could be time for Chelsea to consider adding a few adults to the room.’

I don’t think there would be too many Chelsea fans who would disagree with this. I mean, even just a couple of older heads in the squad will help, as long as they are good quality and players who have been there and done it before.
