Abraham trails Liverpool star Mo Salah – who’s the league’s high scorer – by ten objectives and Owen thinks the Blues have to signal “probably the greatest strikers on the earth” to compete for the title.

“I’ve by no means felt snug with Chelsea’s predominant centre forwards since Drogba in all probability,” Owen advised Premier League productions.

“I solely say that after I’m speaking: ‘Are Chelsea going to win the league? Are they actual contenders?’ In fact, they’re sensible gamers – Giroud’s gained the World Cup for goodness sake and is an excellent participant.

“However to win the Premier League you want probably the greatest strikers on the earth and I don’t suppose Abraham or Giroud are within the high 10 strikers on the earth.

“It’s a division that loads of managers have tried.

“Even Werner – they maintain making an attempt to purchase greater, higher strikers. I simply don’t suppose they’ve acquired it proper since they usually’ve spent fortunes.

“You talked about Diego Costa, they purchased Fernando Torres on the high of his sport, (Alvaro) Morata they spent massive cash on. They know there’s an issue.

“They get by – it’s not manifestly apparent but when they wish to win the league [they must sign a top centre-forward].”
