“I think Chelsea fans will love him, he has the energy and spirit” – Former Chelsea player says on £63m Spanish star
Pat Nevin, a former player for Chelsea, was highly pleased with Marc Cucurella’s first performance.
The Spaniard cost Chelsea £63 million when he was signed.
Marc Cucurella made his Chelsea debut less than a day after his deal was officially announced.
The Spaniard gave an excellent performance in the final 20 minutes of the match against Everton.
After closely observing Cucurella while he was at Brighton, Chelsea legend Pat Nevin listed some of the traits that make him an outstanding player.
However, Nevin wrote in his column for the official Chelsea website: “The introduction of Marc Cucurella was such a relief. Anyone who watched the Spaniard last season will tell you that apart from his skill and willingness to get forward and create on the left-hand side, his energy levels are up there with the best.
“I think Chelsea fans are going to love him as a player because of that never stop and never-say-die attitude.
“There were a few mutterings in the media about Chelsea’s recent acquisitions, and yes, it is early days, and yes, there has been a lot of money spent, but on the evidence of the first match, the decisions taken so far don’t look bad at all.
“I suspect there might be at least one more important signing to be made at the back and if he is as impressive as the others look, and he has the same energy and spirit, the squad will have a much more balanced look about it.”
