Arsene Wenger, a former manager of Arsenal, has spoken about Chelsea's concerns following their Champions League elimination on Tuesday. Real Madrid eliminated the Blues from Europe's top competition 4-0 overall after a previous 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea, now led by Frank Lampard after Graham Potter was fired earlier this month, have lost their last four games and appear to be without a plan, despite the club's owners spending an enormous £600 million on transfers.

Wenger said:

"The advice I give to young coaches when they make contracts, I say make what is important for you, put that clearly in your contract that you are the only one, nobody can buy a player without your agreement, nobody can interfere with the team, and you are solely responsible for managing the team,"
Wenger added.
"After that, you stand in a different way because usually when a club wants you, you are in a strong position. "Once you’ve lost three games and you want to put that in a contract it’s already more difficult."
