'Chelsea need to sign players' - Nigerians react to Community Shield loss to Man City

Football enthusiasts have called on Chelsea to sign more players before the start of the new English Premier League season after their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in Sunday's Community Shield.

Sergio Aguero's efforts in the each half of the encounter handed the reigning league champions their first silverware in the 2018-19 campaign, with Maurizio Sarri condemned to defeat in his first competitive game at the helm of the London side.

The Blues have only acquired two players this summer - goalkeeper Rob Green [free transfer] and Jorginho [£57m move from Napoli].

Sunday's performance at Wembley has prompted fans to clamour for more new legs before the Premier League transfer window shut on August 9.
