Why Chelsea need more than a new goalkeeper to be title challengers

A BBC Sport editorial examines Chelsea's squad depth and structural weaknesses heading into a new Premier League campaign. The piece argues that while a new goalkeeper is a priority, Chelsea's problems extend far beyond that position, with needs in multiple outfield areas. The analysis frames Chelsea as a club still in a transitional phase rather than a ready-made title contender, suggesting that ownership, recruitment strategy, and squad balance all need addressing before the Blues can genuinely challenge at the top of the Premier League.
