​Anelka insists summer spree gives Chelsea 'great chance' in title race | OneFootball

Former France striker Nicholas Anelka believes Chelsea can win the Premier League.

While the Blues were fourth last term, well behind Liverpool in the league, they are being touted as title contenders.

It is due to the quality of additions they made to the squad, including Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech.

Anelka told Stadium Astro: "I think they have a great chance to win the title. It depends on what Liverpool and Manchester City will do as well.

"But he's got the quality to finish fourth in the league last season and, with the signings, he's got the quality to win it.

"It depends after in terms of the experience of the players whether they are strong enough to race until the end but the quality is in Chelsea as well.

"So I believe first, second or third. We will see a great Chelsea at the end. You need something more to win the title.

"If you look [at] Liverpool and you look at City, they have young and experienced players.

"I think Frank is clever, he knew what he needed to be able to win and compete against big teams and you need experience.

"When I was playing for Chelsea and Arsenal, we had a young team but also experienced players.

"You still have space for the youngsters to play, they just have to be strong mentally to compete every week.

"This is football, you always have to compete to be able to play. When you're at a big club, it's like that."
