Blues icon opens up and urges Chelsea to sign defender this transfer window

Frank Sinclair has ordered Chelsea to start improving the defensive side of the game this transfer window.

We all know that Frank Lampard has signed Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech, with the brilliance of Kai Havertz another deal that will improve the attack next season.

But we also know that Lampard needs to spend some money and improve other areas of the pitch if he wants to close that gap on Manchester City and Liverpool, and Sinclair has told the club legend to make sure that the defence is sorted this summer.

We conceded far too many goals in the Premier League last season and it cost the club finishing higher in the League and winning that FA Cup, so adding a proven world class defender or two will be high up on the list.

He told GentingBet: “Chelsea absolutely need to strengthen their defence. When you look at how many goals Chelsea conceded the season, it is not a good look, which is that’s the obvious thing.

“I think Frank had to try different combinations at the back with personnel and systems throughout the season to try and get the answers to keeping clean sheets.

“It’s not quite worked out which probably shows Lampard that he’s going to have to go and sign some better players to improve the defensive situation.”

Look, we agree and Lamps will need to add a new defender or we will have the same issues as we have this season, which will mean a struggle to get back in the Champions League and now silverware.
