Steven Gerrard tells Chelsea to sign three players after Sunderland defeat

Steven Gerrard stated that Chelsea must sign three world-class defenders to compete for the Premier League title following a 1-0 defeat to Sunderland. Enzo Le Fee scored a first-half penalty after Levi Colwill fouled Brian Brobbey at the Stadium of Light, leaving Xabi Alonso's side in fifth place and 11 points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Speaking on The Overlap Daily, Gerrard argued that Chelsea specifically need to acquire two world-class center-backs and a world-class left-back. While he praised right-back Reece James, defender Levi Colwill, and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, Gerrard insisted the defense still needs significant upgrades to reach the level of previous title-winning Chelsea squads.
