Arsenal legend Wright fears Chelsea short of quality strikers

Arsenal legend Ian Wright feels Chelsea are a striker short.

Wright wrote in The Sun: "It amazes me that despite still having so much money - and they certainly spent plenty in the summer on midfielders Eden Hazard, Oscar and Victor Moses - Chelsea find themselves with just two recognised strikers.

"This could be a nightmare for them. Certainly for a club of their stature, it is surprising they do not have any strength in depth offensively.

"Manchester City boast Mario Balotelli, Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko.

"Manchester United have Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez.

"But I consider Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge as Chelsea's only two main attacking options down the middle and this is not enough."
