Ancelotti would like to strengthen Chelsea's squad © EuroFootball.com

London strategist Carlo Ancelotti has stated that the team needs to strengthen its lineup during the winter transfer window if they want to compete for the English champions title.

At the moment, the national champions are only in fifth place in the tournament table, six points behind the leader "Man Utd" who has played one game less.

It is worth noting that over the weekend, "Chelsea" secured a victory at home against "Aston Villa" with a final score of 3-3.

"I don't want to talk about names, but we need new players," Ancelotti said.

It is said that he would like to strengthen the defense line: "We are waiting for the injured defender Alex to return, who is currently in Brazil. Without Alex and Ivanovic, we don’t have enough energy to fight for high balls, which is why we conceded a goal in the match against "Aston Villa".
