Enzo Maresca tried to find the answers to the recent drop in the form of Chelsea, now being sixth in the Premier League after 23 games played, after being second in the division at a given time during the festive period.
The Blues had trouble finding the back of the net at the same rate as at the start of this campaign, scoring only eight goals in their last seven Premier League games, deleting 15 points out of 21 possible within this period.
Chelsea has generated 49.46 XG so far this seasonWith only Liverpool generating more than XG (57.74). However, the blues underperform their XG -4.46, having scored 45 goals in 23 games so far.
The addition of another clinical finisher to their front line, whether at the front or on the wing, could make a long way for the part of Maresca to convert their chances and transform these performances in addition to points .
Chelsea in talks to sign a new winger
According to Recent reports by Fabrizio RomanoThe situation of Mathys Tel will be discussed again this week. Chelsea is always interested in a permanent decision for French after the initial discussions with Bayern during a decision, including Christopher Nkunku, potentially as a separate offer.
Romano also said that seven other clubs are interested in such, with loan proposals also available, which could make this last week of the transfer window for Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
Such has only made 13 appearances for the German giants this season so farBut to score a single goal, providing a single pass and totaling 396 minutes, the majority of its appearances from the bench.
How Matthys like compared to Jadon Sancho
The main option of Chelsea on the left this season was Jadon Sancho, joining Manchester United in summer, Make this campaign so far 19Marking two goals and providing six assists.
While such could provide depth both to the position of the left and to the center-forward position, also in competition with Nicolas Jackson for this place, it would be logical that the Bayern star gave minutes in this large Left position, to offer another set of skills to someone like Sancho.

When you compare Tel and Sancho, you can start to assess their differences as players, English prospering more as a creator, making more key passes, providing more aid and contributing more to the progress of the team during construction.
Meanwhile, such is a higher volume shooter, seems to be direct in 1V1 (taken) scenarios and generates higher XG chances when arriving in the box and scoring goals.
Thierry Henry praised the Bayern winger, labeling the young “exceptional“And praising his mentality at such a young age coming from the bench in front of” bigger “players.
The addition of such – which was Described as a “machine to turn off balls” And an “elite level goalscorer” by analyst Ben Mattinson – would clearly offer a higher fire volume and give the blues is a more direct winger, someone who brings different attributes to slower and more focused Sancho On the passes.
This option would allow Maresca to modify the game in order to affect the game, by providing more threat of the objective of the bench, or vice versa.
