Chelsea are reportedly pushing to sign a £40k-a-week full-back considered “one of the best” in Europe, though they face stiff competition from Premier League rivals.
Mounting Pressure on Maresca
Enzo Maresca is under growing scrutiny as recent performances have failed to meet expectations. A 2-2 draw at home to Ipswich Town followed by a 2-1 defeat to Legia Warsaw at Stamford Bridge has left fans frustrated.
However, Sunday’s 2-1 comeback win over Fulham, thanks to late goals from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto, may have eased some of that pressure.
Defensively, Chelsea have been solid this season, boasting the joint-fourth best record in the league. Maresca’s bigger concern likely lies with the underperforming attack.
