EPL: Agbonlahor identifies only thing Chelsea need to win title under Potter

Former Aston Villa striker, Gabriel Agbonlahor, has insisted that Chelsea need to sign a prolific striker to win the Premier League title under their manager Graham Potter.

Chelsea brought in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona during the summer transfer window.

But Aubameyang is yet to hit the ground running consistently at Chelsea.

The Gabonese star failed to score a goal in Chelsea’s Champions League 2-1 win against RB Salzburg on Tuesday night despite having a number of opportunities.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Agbonlahor said that Chelsea need a sharp striker to reinforce their front line as Aubameyang’s finishing is not yet convincing.

“The only missing part for Chelsea, I thought, was Aubameyang’s finishing.

“I felt the one where they had about 15 passes, and it got placed across to him from [Kai] Havertz, I feel like a sharp striker takes the right touch and dinks the keeper there, finishes if. Maybe that’s what Chelsea are missing to go for the title.”
