Jamie Redknapp has claimed Chelsea will not win a Premier League title until they sign a 'natural finisher' like Didier Drogba or Diego Costa.

Kai Havertz and Timo Werner both missed several chances during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

Redknapp said on Sky Sports after the game: "I think Thomas Tuchel will think how have they not won this game. The amount of opportunities they had on the right side.

"They felt Romelu Lukaku was going to be the missing piece to the jigsaw, the man who would get them 20, 25 goals to elevate them to the title race and it hasn't worked out

"Werner's not a natural finisher. Havertz, I love his movement. But they haven't got that goalscorer like a Drogba or Costa who's going to get you the 20 or 25 goals that you are going to need to win the title and that's really where they have come up short."
