Chelsea are said to be \u201cmiles away\u201d from winning the Premier League title, but this would not be the case if they hijack Liverpool\u2019s move for Marc Guehi\u2026<\/p>\n
This season has been a rollercoaster for Chelsea<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Head coach Enzo Maresca<\/strong><\/a> overcame serious sack calls before an upturn in form saw the Blues seemingly become Arsenal\u2019s main Premier League title challengers en route to taking two steps back at Elland Road on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n It has been a campaign of immense highs and lows for Chelsea this season, though inconsistency and a lack of quality in key positions look likely to prevent them from winning a major trophy this season.<\/p>\n This is the view of Gary Neville, who has argued that Chelsea\u2019s spine is not good enough<\/strong><\/a> and the Manchester United legend has called for Chelsea to focus on signing a new centre-back and goalkeeper as they are currently \u201cmiles away\u201d.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Ten transfers to push bitter Bayern chief over the edge: Olise, Karl, Guehi\u2026<\/a> For the centre-back position, ex-Chelsea star Joe Cole has explained why he thinks his former club should look no further than Crystal Palace and England star Marc Guehi.<\/p>\n \u201cMarc Guehi would be someone you bang the doors down for to sign. He is someone who can come in and help the young group, he knows the club inside out,\u201d Cole told Paddy Power.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a no-brainer, but it won\u2019t be something that\u2019s on the cards for Chelsea, simply because it\u2019s against where the club are heading in terms of signing younger players.<\/p>\n \u201cI personally don\u2019t like January for signing players, as even after the Leeds defeat, Chelsea are where they should be, gently nudging your Arsenal and Man City\u2019s of the world as title contenders.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s all well and good performing like they did against Arsenal with ten men, but you have to then go to Leeds and get a result if you\u2019re going to challenge for the title.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s just factual. When you start that game at Elland Road, with the history of the fixture and how Daniel Farke likes to set his teams up, it\u2019s so difficult to pull it back from 2-0 when you\u2019re in the eye of that storm.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE CHELSEA COVERAGE ON F365\u2026
