Benitez convinced Chelsea need two more top drawer signings

Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez feels they're still two signings short.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich last week sanctioned the £7million signing of striker Demba Ba from Newcastle, but Benitez does not believe that is enough.

Having seen his team blow a chance to get back into the Premier League title race by losing to QPR, interim boss Benitez is ­worried the current ­Chelsea squad could finish the ­season trophyless.

That would cost Benitez any chance of landing the Stamford Bridge job ­permanently. Benitez has complained that two or three Chelsea ­players have been forced to play too many games and is desperate to strengthen the club's midfield options.
