“Based on what I’ve heard” – Enzo Maresca has already made tactical decision on new Chelsea player | OneFootball

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has apparently already made a tactical decision on one new player who’s come in this summer.

That is at least according to an exclusive report that has come in this morning. But before we get to that one, let’s jump into the other big stories that have come out this morning, because there have been a couple big ones.

First and foremost, Joao Felix, who looked set to join Benfica for a loss, is now closing in on a move to Al Nassr in Saudi, according to multiple reports this morning. This will be a huge move to Chelsea, hopefully recouping basically what they paid to sign the flop midfielder.

The other big story is transfer expert Fabrizio Romano once again mentioning Nicolas Jackson and a potential move away from Chelsea this summer, something that now really looks like it could happen.

Chelsea fans will be getting very excited now about seeing Brazilian sensation Estevao Willian play for the club for the first time soon.

The attacking midfielder is likely to be involved in Chelsea’s upcoming friendly games for his debut in a Chelsea shirt, and the anticipation is building up already.

Maresca makes call

TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, says that Estevao will likely be utilised as a right-winger in Maresca’s system to begin with.

Bailey states: “Well, yeah – Estevao, I’m told… they haven’t really decided yet on where he’s going to play. The initial expectation was that he’d start out on the right, as that’s where he’s played quite a bit at Palmeiras. But I know the player himself wants to play more centrally.

“I think we’ll see a mixture, but predominantly he’ll be used on the right – at least to begin with, based on what I’ve heard. It’ll really depend on how he adapts.

“He’s a fabulous talent, obviously, and there is room for him on the right, even though Chelsea are still looking to bring others in.

“So, from what I’m told, expect him to feature mostly on the right for now. Long term, though, he’s keen to play centrally – we’ll see how that plays out.”
