Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says that one Chelsea player believes that Blues fans have only seen 10-20% of his potential so far in a Chelsea shirt.
There was many stories going around in the summer, but it was perhaps after the transfer window when one of the more surprising transfer related stories came out.
EXCL: Inside story of Chelsea player being dead set on joining Crystal Palace in the summer but Chelsea moved the goalposts…
Defender Wesley Fofana admitted he was talking to Marseille and had considered moving due to the fact it is his boyhood club. But he decided to stay at Chelsea because that was ultimately what he wanted to do. Now he wants to repay the faith shown in him by the club.
Fofana missed all of last season out with injury, so even though he has now been at the club since 2022 now, he has not played that much football as a Blue.
Chelsea not seen the best of Fofana yet
According to Romano speaking on his latest Here We Go Podcast, Fofana says Chelsea fans have only seen 10-20% of his potential so far.
Romano says:
“Wesley Fofana decided to continue at Chelsea in the summer, he feels fans have only seen 10-20% of his real potential. He feels it will take time after the injury, but he wants to be part of the project. He wants to repay Chelsea, and also the club trusts him and didn’t want to sell him.”
Enzo Maresca has also shown faith in Fofana and has been starting him regularly so far this season. He’s naturally looked rusty at times, but should improve that as time goes on.
