Jamie Carragher makes Chelsea transfer prediction that will add to Jurgen Klopp frustration

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Chelsea's free-spending will continue after their record-breaking January transfer window.

The Londoners became a topical subject to discuss following the conclusion of the transfer market after they splashed out on a number of additions last month. Graham Potter's side spent an eye-watering £323m and broke the British transfer record for the deadline day addition of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica.

Jurgen Klopp has been outspoken in his opinion of the goings on away from Anfield, in particular their rivals' spending. Ahead of their defeat at Wolves on Saturday, the Liverpool boss expressed his confusion at the sheer magnitude of spending in the Premier League.

And, former Reds defender, Carragher, has made an admission that will irritate the German. He said speaking on the Overlap via SkyBet: "These new players are on eight-year deals, at Chelsea they’ll probably have three or four different managers in this period where some won’t like the players or might want to play a different system.

"In these next few years, Chelsea will keep wanting to buy new players."

Gary Neville, who too has been vocal in his objection of ownership of football clubs in England, highlighted Chelsea' acquisitions as strange.

He added: "Cucarella £64 million or Fernandez £105 million- that’s a full back and a midfielder that’s sitting at the base of a three.

"The ceiling on those types of players like Rodri, Fabinho, Casemiro- they are £50million or £60million positions. These aren’t players that are playing in the forward part of the pitch scoring 30 goals, so if what they’re paying for the positions, they’re getting them for, they just seem like strange transfers."
