Gary Neville says Chelsea are not 'stable' enough to finish in the Premier League top four this season as the former Man United defender set Thomas Tuchel and Todd Boehly a task to change his mind.
The Blues have had a summer of change with the ownership instability leading to Tuchel's side playing catch up in the transfer market. Marc Cucurella's signing on Friday meant that the west Londoners have now completed five first-team men additions. £300million is the target for transfer spend before September 1 as Chelsea could yet add three more players to their ranks amid strong links to Frenkie de Jong, Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang respectively.
However, with any new additions unlikely to make their debuts any time soon, Chelsea could face a battle to keep up with the pace at the top of the table early on this term as pre-season demonstrated what could be ahead in the short-term for Tuchel's side.
