“I love this, Better than Kounde” – Chelsea fans excited after player trains with Tuchel
The Chelsea fans were in a buoyant mood after learning Xavier Mbuyamba has been promoted to the Chelsea first-team by Thomas Tuchel.
Mbuyamba suffered a long-term injury almost immediately after joining Chelsea from Barcelona last summer.
The defender is highly-rated and some Chelsea fans have hailed him as better than Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde.
