Chelsea has finally decided to address problems in its central defence during the winter transfer window. Last winter, when a defender was expected to be signed, the club recalled Anselmino from his loan at Boca Juniors, as well as Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Crystal Palace.
This season, when Chelsea needs a defender in the third consecutive transfer window, the club has decided to return Aron Anselmino from loan at Borussia Dortmund. The close has been activated, and the loan has been terminated, which makes Aaron Anaslmino an official Chelsea player.
Anselmino’s situation and preferences! Players characteristics!
This time, Chelsea has once again recalled Anselmino, who is now a significantly better player than he was last season. He spent the first part of the season at Borussia Dortmund, where he made significant progress and is now a major reinforcement for Chelsea’s defence. By bringing Anselmino back from his loan at Dortmund, Chelsea has gained a young but highly capable defender who is ready to contribute immediately.
Dortmund plays with a back three, and with Schlotterbeck and frequent defensive rotations, Anselmino had the opportunity to develop his one-on-one and aerial duel skills.
Anselmino is an important player and will certainly strengthen the team immediately. He has improved his skills with the ball and his technique while playing in a very strong Dortmund side. He has also developed a good sense for direct passes and positioning.
Injury update and news:
Chelsea also has an Argentine defender born in 2005. Anselmino had injury issues at Dortmund, which prevented him from becoming a regular starter, but it was clear that he would return to Chelsea.
It should also be noted that Chelsea’s new manager, Rosenior, trusts Badiashile, who is a professional and reliable defender. Alongside Badiashile, who will be a regular player until the end of the season, Chelsea also has Chalobah and Wesley Fofana as serious central defenders. Anselmino looks very strong as a left-sided centre-back.
Sarr will also return to Chelsea this January (from a loan at Strasbourg). He is also a central defender. But it is not official.
In addition to Anselmino, Chelsea has Mamadou Sarr on loan at Strasbourg, who is also trained by Rosenior this season. Chelsea will recall Sarr from his loan, who recently won the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal. This will allow the club to fill gaps in the defence with two young players under contract who have developed significantly during their loans.
Acheampong’s reality and situation!
Chelsea will definitely recall Sarr and solve the defensive problems. Acheampong has not proven to be a sufficient solution, and Rosenior does not appear to rely on him. Bringing back defenders from loan is a clear signal and answers the question of whether Acheampong can provide the quality Chelsea needs on the pitch.
