Marc Cucurella was great as a left centre back against Dortmund in the Champions League last week, and followed that performance up with another good showing against Leicester on Saturday.
His stats from the game at the weekend show he made 2 interceptions and won 7 duels as he harried the Foxes’ forwards.
You can see his stats in the image embedded here:
What he love is seeing him play his role on the front foot as he has done in the last two games.
Chelsea are the ones pushing forward, and he has the chance to break from his back three to press. It’s against stronger sides, when we’re defending, that he’s struggled so far.
‘Absolute priority’: Todd Boehly wants to bring £71m star to Chelsea
According to Spanish outlet Sport, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is determined to sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong in the summer transfer window.
The Dutch international was linked with both Chelsea and Manchester United at the beginning of the season and it was reported that the latter had agreed to pay up to £71 million for a transfer.
However, de Jong had no intention to leave Barcelona and they could not persuade him to change his mind. As per Sport, Boehly is now planning a fresh summer approach for the 25-year-old.
The report says that the Chelsea co-owner has made it an ‘absolute priority’ to sign the ex-Ajax man and wants him as the leader of his midfield. He aims to take advantage of Barcelona’s financial crisis.
