Chelsea icon Gianfranco Zola believes his old club have improved ‘considerably’ over the summer after ‘clever’ summer signings.
The Blues brought in Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas, Felipe Luis and Didier Drogba over the summer. And Zola, with 229 appearances and 59 goals over a glittering eight-year career at Stamford Bridge, reckons the Blues will be fighting for the title come the end of the season.
Zola, who to this day is revered at the club said: “I think it was very clever the way they used their money. They have a strong team, in every position they are very good.
“The quality of the football has been made better and I believe that Fabregas has a lot to do with that.
“Chelsea look like they will be one of the teams to beat – but the Premier League is long and the tough moments will come.”
