“Let him go” “He can’t suit my style of play” – Enzo Maresca tells Chelsea to sell 24-years-old Chelsea star
Although the player wants to continue with the team, Chelsea is apparently looking to move him because they feel he is not a good fit for Enzo Maresca’s style of play.
This claim is a little strange, but it’s still important to pay attention to because it comes from a typically trustworthy source of sports news.
Trevoh Chalobah, a defender, believes that Stamford Bridge is where his future lies, but The Athletic is claiming that Chelsea is open to bids for the player. Trevoh Chalobah does not seem to fit Maresca’s out-of-the-back playing style, according to Chelsea. Among the teams showing interest in the 24-year-old is Fulham.
Since Chalobah is a pure profit margin, it was inevitable that Chelsea would put him up for sale this summer. He has also been rumored to be on the sales list for several months, and if he hadn’t been injured and had a bidder, he would have likely been sold in January.
The assertion that Chalobah is a poor ball-player center back seems absurd to me. Even if he may not be the world’s greatest defender when it comes to possession of the ball, he is more capable than what is being said here.
He is, if anything, more skillful with the ball than Axel Disasi, but I suppose Chelsea won’t give up on a guy they recently purchased and acknowledge that they made a mistake, especially since Chalobah would be a guaranteed profit.
But if you ask me, this is a strange report that most likely originated directly with Chelsea. They will be aware of Chalobah’s popularity among Chelsea supporters, who will take offense if he is traded. So maybe this is an attempt to assign responsibility to the new way of playing. But that’s just my viewpoint.
