Lagos, Nigeria – Una no go believe wetin dey happen for Chelsea right now! The latest gist wey don drop from Fabrizio Romano na about their left back, Marc Cucurella. This one no be small thing oh, as the 27-year-old Spanish international don secure one improved contract wey still dey run till 2028. Wetin happen? Make I break am down for una.
Cucurella don really show say him dey shine for Stamford Bridge. Even as some games dey difficult (like that one wey dem play against Bournemouth), him still dey perform well. Just to remind una, this guy almost jump go Manchester United on loan last summer, but matter change for good now as e don become fan favorite for Chelsea. (You sef fit be popular if you sabi play ball like this guy!)
Fabrizio don talk am clear say no be new length for the contract wey dem sign, but him salary don increase. Biko, who no go like better money? While club never officially announce am, wetin we rather sabi be say, Cucurella’s form dey help Chelsea get better with their defense. Dem been dey shaky at the start of the season, but now, Chelsea dey manage their defense well. Last month, dem only concede one goal in the league! Na serious improvement.
Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah don form solid partnership wey dey give other teams wahala, keeping four clean sheets out of five matches. How far una think say this partnership fit last? Chelsea coach, Enzo Maresca dey hope say these two go continue dey perform well, as dem don begin build stronger defense.
But make we no forget about the wahala around other positions. Attack no dey sweet all the time for Chelsea, as injury dey vex players. Liam Delap just sustain another injury, and this na big blow because e don just recover from hamstring injury. Na so injury dey chop players for this club wey suppose dey shine like diamond!
Meanwhile, Chelsea don bring in Emegha from Strasbourg to be their next big thing after Nicolas Jackson no fit hold the expected standard. Jackson don dey face wetin we fit call ‘loan wahala’ on top AFCON issues. Na so e be! Fans dey wait make dem see wetin go happen to Jackson, as him fit waka away if him no meet up with the club requirement.
As Chelsea dey plan their future, dem dey focus on young talents, and Emegha na one of those wey dem believe say fit change the game. Dis new strategy wey dem dey put in place show say dem dey think long-term, and this one fit help dem get better players as seasons dey come.
But the big question be say, go dem fit maintain this new form as dem dey enter the tough part of the season? January transfer window dey near, and fans go wan see wetin go happen about players comot and players wey go join to bolster the squad. For now, make we just chop our popcorn and watch as Chelsea dey carry us go this season. With Cucurella secured and other boys dey pack for defense, we fit talk say Stamford Bridge dey ready to shine again.
