Jamie Carragher has questioned Chelsea's direction under Todd Boehly and Enzo Maresca – claiming the Blues are still no nearer to mounting a Premier League title challenge despite becoming world champions and splashing another quarter of a billion pounds on new signings.
Chelsea lifted the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States earlier this summer and will return to the Champions League next season after securing a fourth-place finish in the Premier League – their best since Boehly's 2022 takeover.
But Carragher is not convinced that Maresca's revamped squad is any stronger than before, suggesting the club's recruitment has lacked impact despite eight summer arrivals costing around £250million combined.
