Lampard reveals the position Chelsea need to strengthen
Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has revealed the position Chelsea must strengthen up in a bid to remain in contention for the Premier League this season after falling nine points behind the league leaders Manchester City.
Lampard has advised Chelsea to bolster the squad as the mid-season approaches and Antonio Conte is offered the opportunity to sign one or two players during the January window transfer.
The ex-England international told BT Sport: “I think they need to add to their squad.
“If you’re looking at Alvaro Morata as your out-and-out striker… Michy Batshuayi’s come in and had moments where he’s scored but it seems Antonio Conte doesn’t trust him.
“So I think maybe a backup striker [is needed in January].
“They also need to maybe strengthen the midfield at some point, although that may be next summer.
“You have to keep strengthening because everybody else is.”
Chelsea will take a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool in their next Premier League game after a comfortable 4-0 win over Qarabag on Wednesday in the Champions League.
The Premier League Champions are currently in third position on the table and nine points behind leaders Manchester City after 12 games.
