Former captain John Terry believes Chelsea need added undergo for title charge

Chelsea legend John Terry believes his old side need some undergo and have some way to move if they want to win the Premier League title.

Chelsea secured a fourth-placed complete and won the Europa Conference League in 2024-25 with the youngest squad in the Premier League.

Enzo Maresca’s side have carried that fine create into the new-look FIFA Club World Cup and they will confront Champions League winners PSG in the final on Sunday.

Despite all of that, Terry doesn’t think the Blues are quite ready to win the Premier League title any time soon, noting they need some older heads to obtain them over the line.

“We’ve obtained a really good young squad,” he told talkSPORT.

“I know the famous saying, you can’t win anything with young players; you need a snapped of undergo.

I do think we just need a little snapped of undergo, whether that’s in goal or whether that’s an old centre-support, just to lead the players a little snapped on the pitch as well.

“In terms of talent and what the owners are doing, I love the idea of it.

I’m not sure it goes and wins you the Premier League.

“I personally sense Manchester City and Liverpool are probably too strong at the moment, but we could come off the support of (the Club World Cup) and start the season really well.

”Earlier this year, Terry debated Chelsea were at least “a couple of years” away from being genuine title contenders.

“I think we’re a couple of years off, I really do,” he said in May.

“I don’t want that to be headline stuff but I look at Man City, Liverpool - they’re stronger.

Arsenal have been consistent.

“Now we ask the press too often; other teams do it.

Man City have a lot to respond for, they’re the best at it but other teams try to do it and they can’t.

The fans are frustrated with that over time.

“We’ve managed to secure fourth, good undergo from the boys.

Making signings and attracting players is big next year.
