Alan Shearer thinks that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel needs to sign a world-class striker in order for the Blues to challenge for the Premier League title.
Tuchel took over Chelsea on January 26 after Frank Lamaprd was relieved from his managerial duties. Since becoming the Blues head coach Tuchel has guided them to four unbeaten games. Chelsea are currently 5th in the league table with 39 points, one point behind 4th placed Liverpool.
"He’s [Tuchel] given everyone an opportunity,"Shearer said on BBC’s Match of the Day 2.
"He didn’t play [Mason] Mount in the first game, he’s swapped it over with [Ben] Chilwell and [Marcos] Alonso, [Olivier] Giroud has been in there, he’s changed the system slightly. He’s given everyone the opportunity to impress him.
"I still think they are lacking that top-quality centre-forward to challenge [for the title].
"They’ll challenge for fourth but I think to go to the next level they’ll need a top centre forward."
