Lampard urged to sign more players for Chelsea: You can't just keep bringing young players through

Frank Sinclair claims the Blues are a long way behind Liverpool at present, but feels smart recruitment can close the gap

Chelsea remain "a couple of transfer windows" away from being capable of challenging for the title, says Frank Sinclair, with the Blues needing to make signings and not just rely on bringing young players through.

A 32-point gap separates Frank Lampard’s side from runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool at present and bridging that will not be easy, with the west Londoners likely to need to dip into the transfer market.

A summer deal is already being pieced together for exciting Ajax forward Hakim Ziyech, with the Blues aware that positive recruitment is required in order to rejoin the domestic and European elite.
