Two Chelsea players have been slammed by ex-Premier League striker Gabriel Agbonlahor as they are not good enough for Thomas Tuchel’s side.
After lifting the Champions League in 2020/21, this season has been less of a success for Chelsea.
They were beaten on penalties by Liverpool in the finals of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

The Blues exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals and they finished third in the Premier League. They ended up 19 points behind Man City.
With Todd Boehly’s takeover due to be completed, Chelsea will be busy in the transfer market this summer.
Agbonlahor does not feel that Hakim Ziyech or Christian Pulisic are good enough to get Chelsea back to winning the title:
