Former Chelsea star Shaun Wright-Phillips has lauded the signings of Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech, claiming the club are primed for a title run.
The Blues are set to complete the signing of RB Leipzig striker Werner in the coming weeks, while Ziyech was was bought from Ajax in February.
And with the new talent, Wright-Phillips thinks Frank Lampard can turn his side into contenders.
Speaking about Werner, he told AmericanGambler: "I think Lamps has done tremendously there, he's a great player.
"He is hungry for goals and it gives Lamps the option there, and with Ziyech in there, Chelsea's front three is looking very strong. As you can see, he's having a nice mix of maturity and young talent, and it's very hard to go wrong with that."
On Ziyech: "He brings that attacking flair, he scores goals and he creates goals.
"We have seen him do it in the Champions League, and now other wingers and other midfielders have to up their game because there is a lot of competition there. Having a lot of players on top of their game can only be a good thing for Lamps for and for Chelsea."
Asked if he sees Chelsea challenging for the Premier League crown, he added: "Yes, definitely. I think next year if he gets the players that he wants and get his team exactly as he wants it, then 100%.
"They are still challenging for the Champions League spots now, so it's only one step further forward, and that is challenging against Man City and Liverpool, who have run away with it this year."
