Lampard told he needs to complete Chelsea deal for new centre-forward

Paul Merson has told Chelsea that they need to sign a new centre-forward.

With the likes of Tammy Abraham, Olivier Giroud and Timo Werner in the squad, many would anticipate that we  have enough fire-power to be challenging for that Premier League title this season.

But Frank Lampard’s men have been struggling to perform this season and Werner has not been the signing that fans had hoped, especially after netting an impressive 34 goals last season.

And Arsenal legend Merson has opened up and told the boss that ne may need to delve into that transfer kitty and add a new striker to the side, he was quoted on the Metro: ‘I don’t know where Werner plays,’ ‘I think Chelsea may have signed him to play as a striker, but that is not working, and if his best position is off the left, then Chelsea need a centre forward.

‘No disrespect to Olivier Giroud or Tammy Abraham, but you are not going to win the Premier League with those as your front two.

‘Giroud and Abraham do great on their day, but they are not going to be in the top six Premier League goalscorers this season, or any season.

‘How many teams have won the Premier League without having a player in the top six scorers?’

Lampard has been given alot of money to buy the striker he needs, and he certainly has enough quality in the midfield, maybe he is not the right manager for the club to manage these set of players?
