Chelsea is bought for ‘one of the best plugs’

Enzo Maresca was only on Chelsea Almost seven months, already implementing a very clear system on the field, which has experienced a relative success for the first six months.

However, in the last month things have turned a little, and the blues have struggled to pick up points and now sit six in Premier league After 23 games played.

The middle ground configuration was extremely important for Marescu this season, using Like Moises CaicedoRoméo Lavia and Enzo Fernández in different ways, using reverse feedback to best platform their vezjenjaks.

However, due to problems with Lavia injuries, Maresca did not have many choices to be flexible with her midfielder, which in this ward in this ward represented some fears of injuries like Fernandez and Caicedo, because the blues now looks a little light, as they don’t want to return Loaneesa in this area.

Therefore, Blues could look at the addition of a different type of medium profile, with such as Caicedo and Fernandez, which are more natural number six, it brings some additional physical attributes, but it can still match Mareca’s game style.

Chelsea’s search for a midfielder

According to Teamtalk reportsChelsea has a real interest in Brighton midfielder, Carlos Baleb, who is closely monitored for what is likely to be a summer move.

According to the report, Blues sounded the availability and evaluation of Baleba earlier this month. The proposal is that they should “overpay” massively to get his man before the coming deadline, although it is hinted at that such a move is not completely out of question.

The 21-year-old arrived from Lille to a Fee of around £ 23.2 million in 2023Replacing Caicedo who joined Chelsea that summer. But can he follow a similar path, and the blues landed on a midfielder at a major fee?

Baleba has Made 23 appearances for Brighton this campaign under the new managerFabian Hurzeler, scoring three goals, providing two assists, contributing to six clean leaves and a total of 1,770 minutes.

As Baleba compares to Caicedo

Caicedo has Made 25 appearances for Marescan side this seasonAchieving one goal, providing two assists, contributing to five clean leaves and a total of 2,149 minutes played.

23-year-old became absolutely key under Marescu, with Italian cinema: “He is very modest, all we ask to be there to do it. I love his performances.”

When comparing the fundamental numbers of midfielder this season, you can see how good Baleb is, and Caicedo was widely commendable as one of the best performers in the league this season.

Baleba, an average of 90 defensive actions, winning more air duels, recovers the ball more often, and even adds goals and assists for his side with a higher rate.

Charlie Adam, a former Liverpool man, praised Baleb this season, stating that the young man brings “something that is different from what was in the Premier League‘

Many believe that if his shape continues, he will be the next exit of big money from Brighton to a top club, and analyst Ben Mattinson was scrambling him ”One of the best midfielders in the league“Currently.

Adding Baleba to the middle of Chelsea would allow Marescu to release Caicedo a little further forward, pressing more on the field as he did with Brighton, but also influenced the game more on the ball in the last third with his quality of passing.

After seeing the success of the landing of Ecuadorians from Amex, repeating the tricks with his heir clearly could prove a real master for the blues.
