Chelsea for splashing £600million on players but failing to sign a goalscorer.

Michael Owen has blasted Chelsea for splashing £600million on players but failing to sign a goalscorer.

The Blues have struggled to convert chances this season, scoring just 30 goals in 31 Premier League games.

And Chelsea fired another blank as they were beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid on Tuesday night as Spanish giants completed a 4-0 aggregate win in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Speaking on BT Sport, Owen said: ‘It’s one of the biggest mysteries of all time – how can you spend £500m and hardly bring a player in who’s going to influence the goalscoring department?

‘They look so toothless in front of goal, they don’t look like scoring.

Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali endured another frustrating night

‘[Manchester City striker] Erling Haaland has scored four or five more goals than the entire [Chelsea] team this season. It’s incredible for a team like Chelsea to not have someone who is banging them in on a regular basis

‘But tonight it has to be different. I don’t know where they’re going to come from, but they have to come from somewhere.’

Under the new ownership of Todd Boehly this season, Chelsea have had three managers, sacking Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter before re-appointing former boss Frank Lampard earlier this month.

But Rio Ferdinand said decisions off the field contributed to the team ending up in this mess.

He said: ‘Frank was the one who wanted to be on the end of those (Chelsea) chances. That’s the problem with this Chelsea team, they haven’t been able to score goals. You spend £500 million and you’ve not go a number nine.

‘Frank mentioned it, for 60 minutes they more than matched Real.’
