Jamie Carragher has claimed that Graham Potter will be under increased pressure to deliver success at Chelsea following the club's significant spending spree.

Chelsea spent over £300million in the January transfer window, with deals being struck for Enzo Fernandez, Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and Malo Gusto.

Carragher feels that with such significant investment from owner Todd Boehly, Chelsea will be looking to win the Premier League next season. 

Former Liverpool defender Carragher feels that Potter will have limited time to turn Chelsea into title contenders. 

Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said: "I think it makes it tougher. I think the reason you bring in Graham Potter is because he builds a club that's his history in management and that's why they've brought him in. But it feels like what they've done in the transfer market is the opposite of that. 

'There's no right or wrong way of doing things, we've seen Chelsea in the past under Abramovich bringing lots of players in, changing managers all the time, but I don't think that bodes well for Potter in the future in terms of the amount of money they've sent and players they've brought in. Because that's pressure.
