At Chelsea we don't need him. we already have injury prone players Nkuku and Wesley Fofana so we don't have to add another injury prone player in our squad. This time Chelsea FC Owners and the Board must be smart on the market not to buy any plyer found on the market. Brain 🧠 must be used. We have a good number of injury prone players who can't play 8 or 9 Consecutive games without going back in the garage (treatment room) Previously Chelsea FC Owners and the Board went on offloading unnecessarily senior players who were supposed to remain at the club and help the likes of Jackson, Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer, Gallagher,Gusto, to develope into good players like they was.
