Marc Cucurella's Transfer To Chelsea Has Been Confirmed
The Brighton left-back will now be a part of the Chelsea squad.
After a disappointing transfer window for Chelsea FC where nearly all of their top targets have decided to join FC Barcelona, fans of the West London club will be ecstatic to hear that Marc Cucurella will be a Chelsea player, according to Fabrizio Romano.
After a dramatic saga between him, Brighton, and Manchester City to see where the Spanish defender would end up, Chelsea singlehandedly won the day. This will come as a major blow to the hopes of City fans who were expecting him to fill the role of left back for the club which desperately needs one.
What does this news mean for Chelsea? It means that they have yet another boost to their already amazing defense consisting of names such as Thiago Silva, Reece James, and another signing from this summer transfer window in Kalidou Koulibaly. Although their attacking third needs to be improved, Chelsea seem to be getting it absolutely right when it comes to their defense.
However, Chelsea’s signing of Cucurella should be considered quite painful for fans of Manchester City, who were eagerly hoping they would sign the fullback. However, that doesn’t mean that City's search for a player in the left-back position has ended.
According to ESPN, Manchester City are now targeting Borussia Dortmund star left-back Raphael Guerreiro. If City did manage to pull off this signing, they would not only get a new left-back, but they would reunite Guerreiro with striker Erling Haaland, one of his former Dortmund teammates.
Now, readers, it is your turn to make your voice count. Will the addition of Cucurella be to Chelsea’s benefit, or will the club wish that they had never even considered paying for him? Vote down in the poll below:
