Joe Cole says Chelsea need Erling Haaland to challenge for Premier League title

Joe Cole has said that his former club Chelsea need to land the signature of Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland to become genuine challengers for the Premier League title.

The Blues have revived their season since the arrival of manager Thomas Tuchel in January and they are unbeaten in 10 league games with six wins and four draws.

Despite this, they are only lying fourth in the table and there is a staggering 20-point gap between them and runaway leaders Manchester City.

The west London side spent more than £225m on new signings last summer and there is the anticipation that they could go on another spending spree.
