Renato Veiga is becoming a member of Juventus on a mortgage deal for the remainder of the season that doesn’t embody a purchase choice.
It’s my opinion that I can be very shocked if he’s no longer bought in the summertime anyway, however that’s for one more article at a later date. We’ll wait and see.
The extra urgent concern for me proper now could be who replaces him in our squad? We now have only one left again in Marc Cucurella. Ben Chilwell is anticipated to be bought, though I’ve nonetheless heard completely nothing on that and don’t know the place he’s going to go together with simply 8 days remaining. Even nonetheless, they already froze him out and handled him like dust, so his Chelsea profession is over regardless.
So when Cucurella is burned out, injured, or we simply have to rotate, who’s taking part in left again?
By way of what we have now heard, there isn’t a lot. We do have a shortlist of recent left backs that we like, however that was at all times anticipated to be one thing we’d most certainly take a look at in the summertime. Will they now dip into that? I’m not so certain.
The whispers we have now been listening to about is that the most certainly state of affairs proper now for the remainder of the season can be to make use of Malo Gusto because the left again backup till the tip of the season.
And that’s superb, IF Reece James additionally stays match and wholesome. Chelsea additionally do have Ishé Samuels-Smith rising up within the academy. He’s an 18-year-old left again who does look superb, so they may promote him for the second half of the season. However I’d be shocked in the event that they do that as the primary backup alternative. Perhaps as second behind Gusto.
However with the quantity of days left within the window now, and the actual fact they shockingly appear to be prioritising a brand new winger essentially the most out of anything, I can’t foresee a brand new left again coming in now. I’ll await to listen to data from sources, however essentially the most we’re listening to proper now could be it will likely be Gusto because the Cucurella backup till the summer season at the very least, then it will likely be re-assessed. We do have left backs we’re , however up till now there was no enquiries or developments. This might at all times change fast if wanted.
I do nonetheless have a sense we might nonetheless get Douglas Luiz although, with Veiga’s deal to Juventus going by way of. However let’s see, it’s only a feeling and clearly he’s not a left again!
