Gary Lineker has joked that Chelsea "could become a threat" if they spend even more money in the summer.
Graham Potter's side are languishing in ninth place after 21 Premier League fixtures despite welcoming 17 new signings since Todd Boehly's consortium purchased the club in a £4.25billion takeover last April. The January transfer window saw Boehly and Co. splash out £323million on eight new signings, with the likes of Enzo Fernandez, Joao Felix and Mykhaylo Mudryk arriving at Stamford Bridge, much to the bemusement of their rivals.
While the Blues are understood to have put in place a £52m deal with RB Leipzig for the signing of French forward Christopher Nkunku when the summer months roll round, Chelsea remain rudderless on the pitch. Their extravagant transfer business has prompted Lineker to join in the pile-on of ridicule with a sarcastic tweet following Friday's drab 0-0 draw with Fulham.
