Liverpool legend Graeme Souness, has again slammed Chelsea’s current transfer policy.

According to Souness, Chelsea will lose a lot of money on some of these investments.

Souness pointed out the signing of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica.

The Argentine was signed for £105m, which made him the most expensive signing in British football in January 2023, before Moises Caicedo’s fee eclipsed his.

Enzo Fernandez currently finds himself behind Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia in Enzo Maresca’s first team, and Souness believes Enzo Fernandez is one of a number of Chelsea players who ‘won’t reach the level’.

“It’s still very early to pass any sort of judgement on Chelsea,” Souness said on the Three Up Front podcast.

“With their current group of players, they have a chance of finishing in the top four, but they’re still some way off winning the Premier League or Champions League.

“From the current squad, I think there’ll be an enormous wastage of players and a lot of them will never live up to the levels that people think they will.

“The most obvious one for me is someone who isn’t even in the team at the moment, Enzo Fernandez, on whom they spent £105million.

“They’ve bought a load of players who won’t reach the level they would’ve hoped.”

The Liverpool legend added: “I think there was a different way they could’ve done it.

“They just went out with a scattergun approach, buying everyone and anyone of a certain age that popped up.

“They’re just storing up more problems for themselves further down the line. The case in point would be Raheem Sterling, who they’ve basically had to give away.

“They’re going to be confronted with that same situation at least another half-a-dozen times.

“Players will not live up to the expectation, become surplus to requirements, be sat on seven-year contracts and not want to leave Chelsea unless they get offered a big golden handshake to walk out the door.

“Chelsea will get no value for them when they sell them because they’re deemed to be a failure, and they’ll have to pay them to leave. That’s not a sustainable business model.”
