Gary Neville has made it clear that he believes Chelsea need to sign another attacker in order to improve the balance of Mauricio Pochettino's side. This was made apparent after their 3-0 win over Luton Town on Friday evening. Raheem Sterling scored twice while Nicolas Jackson capped a fine performance with his first goal since joining from Villarreal in June.
However, Neville believes the squad needs more. He said on Sky Sports, "I think the balance needs working on. It's an immature team in the sense of its age and it's an immature team in terms of its games together." He went on to point out the success of Mauricio Pochettino's former Tottenham team, saying, "If you think about the best functioning units, at the moment Jackson and Sterling, Sterling's working in a position off the right hand side and it's certainly better seeing him higher up the pitch."
He also highlighted the need for a "world class" player to balance off the front three, saying, "A lot to work on for Chelsea but there will be another forward needed, I think, to balance off that front three to get it together. Maybe Nkunku but he's four months away [from returning]."
Gary Neville was very impressed by Nicolas Jackson's performance in the win over Luton Town, but believes Chelsea need to add another attacker to their squad in order to achieve the balance and maturity needed to compete in the Premier League.
