Manchester United legend Gary Neville has claimed that he is not ‘totally convinced’ with Chelsea’s transfer policy under the ownership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.

Chelsea have spent £928million on new players since Boehly and Clearlake Capital bought the club last year from Roman Abramovich.

“I have to say there is an element of risk and an element of seeing into the future to see which of those players, if any becomes a top player,” Neville told Sky Sports on Monday Night Football.

“They’ve basically invested into potential in the hope that their recruitment team know what they’re doing.

“I’m not wholly convinced i’ll be really honest with you with the plan and the strategy and the eight year contracts, locking them down whether those players are going to go on to deliver what Chelsea need for that investment. We’ll see.”

He added: “I mean they’ve spent a billion pounds and it’s a large investment and I still look at them and feel like Mauricio Pochettino will want better players in certain areas, particularly forward areas.

“Particularly against Liverpool, you can play well but if you haven’t got punch at the top end of the pitch and if you’re a little bit rash a the back end of the pitch – I think they’ve still got a couple of young centre backs – for all your good football you’re not going to see the fruits of that labour.”
