Chelsea urged to sign 'next Didier Drogba' to become Premier League title contenders

Former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes that Chelsea will not challenge for the Premier League title until they sign the ‘next Didier Drogba.’

The Blues currently find themselves third in the Premier League table after Thursday night’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United a result that leaves them 13 points off the top two in the Premier League with five games to go, but six points clear of fourth-place Arsenal.

For the majority of the season and almost every week in 2022, Chelsea have been sat in third as a series of underwhelming results, including the draw at Old Trafford, have been the difference between mounting themselves as genuine title contenders since the turn of the year.
