Renato Veiga is becoming a member of Juventus on a mortgage deal for the remainder of the season that doesn’t embrace a purchase possibility.
It’s my opinion that I can be very stunned if he’s no longer offered 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’s who replaces him in our squad? We now have only one left again in Marc Cucurella. Ben Chilwell is predicted to be offered, though I’ve nonetheless heard completely nothing on that and don’t know the place he’s going to go along with simply 8 days remaining. Even nonetheless, they already froze him out and handled him like filth, so his Chelsea profession is over regardless.
So when Cucurella is burned out, injured, or we simply must rotate, who’s enjoying left again?
By way of what we have now heard, there isn’t a lot. We do have a shortlist of latest left backs that we like, however that was at all times anticipated to be one thing we might almost definitely have a look at in the summertime. Will they now dip into that? I’m not so positive.
The whispers we have now been listening to about is that the almost definitely situation 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 nice, 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 stunned in the event that they do that as the primary backup alternative. Possibly as second behind Gusto.
However with the quantity of days left within the window now, and the very fact they shockingly appear to be prioritising a brand new winger probably the most out of the rest, I can’t foresee a brand new left again coming in now. I’ll await to listen to information from sources, however probably the most we’re listening to proper now’s will probably be Gusto because the Cucurella backup till the summer season not less than, then will probably 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 means of. However let’s see, it’s only a feeling and clearly he’s not a left again!
