Simon Jordan insists Chelsea cannot use their failure to buy a striker as an excuse for their miserable form that led to Graham Potter's exit as he criticises goal-shy duo Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling's dismal record

Simon Jordan believes a lack of goals from Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling contributed to Graham Potter's departure from Chelsea.

Chelsea sacked Potter on Sunday, with the club languishing in eleventh place in the Premier League.

A lack of options up front has been a huge problem for Chelsea at times, and Jordan is adamant that Havertz and Sterling should have made greater contributions, saying that Chelsea's failure to sign a striker isn't an excuse for their struggles.

Chelsea have scored just 29 goals in the Premier League this season, which is way short of Arsenal and Manchester City's tallies of 70 and 71 respectively.
