'It's a very exciting time for Chelsea fans': Joe Cole fancies his former club to challenge for Premier League title as he claims he 'can see Frank Lampard's personality' in the team

Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has backed his old club to challenge for the Premier League title this season.

Frank Lampard's side cruised to a 2-0 victory against Newcastle at St James' Park after a cool finish from striker Tammy Abraham and an own goal from Federico Fernandez.

The Blues spent a lot of money during the summer transfer window on signings such as Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Ben Chilwell.
