Arsenal legend Wright says Chelsea must spend big again to get best from Torres

Arsenal legend Ian Wright can't see Fernando Torres snapping his form slump at Chelsea anytime soon.

Wrighty is not convinced the Spaniard will snap out of his slump quickly and believes Roman Abramovich may have to spend again to get the best out of his record signing on a regular basis.

The former England striker told The Sun: "Torres' form at Liverpool was not good so he was always going to be in that same form initially for Chelsea.

"People are looking at his deficiencies at the minute instead of his qualities because he is not scoring.

"With Chelsea stuttering it was always going to be a hard situation for Torres to go into.

"They're going to have to buy a couple more players to help him because at the moment I think he's going to continue to struggle.

"But it doesn't surprise me Chelsea went out and spent £50m because they need to move to that next level."
