Chelsea hero Frank Leboeuf has told the club that their season is effectively over - and has urged owner Todd Boehly to splash the cash on a number of new signings to prepare for the 2023/24 campaign.
Chelsea spent big in the summer, with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana amongst others joining the club following the Boehly-led takeover. The cash-laden American then sacked Thomas Tuchel and appointed Graham Potter, who started well but Chelsea's form tailed off before the World Cup break.
With Chelsea in eighth place and fixtures against Manchester City and Liverpool on the horizon, Leboeuf believes his former club should consider the current campaign a write off. The ex-France defender wants the Blues to focus on snapping up talent such as Christopher Nkunku and Josko Gvardiol as a way of wiping the slate clean going into next season.
