Chelsea Football Club have suffered defensive set back all seasons after they conceded 47 goals any time the duo of Alonso and Kepa starts an encounter.
The Chelsea FC hierarchy have being in the market for a Central Defender, a left back and a Goalkeeper to solve such defensive frailties.
The left back spot being one of the key positions where the Blues need appropriate reinforcement. Lampard have played Aziplicueta as a left back any time he feels his left back duo of Emerson and Alonso are not playing well.
This further shows that the Blues need a new left back if they must compete for silverwares come next season.
The likes of Pulisic and the other forwards are doing alot up front to get the goals but it’s the defensive issues that makes such hard work look futile.
Considering the last game against Liverpool and a couple of games before, it was obvious that Alonso is more suited to a Wing back role than a Left back role. Hence, highlighting the need of a convenient left back since Lampard’s preferred formation is to go with three at the back.
The Blues have being linked with several Left backs such as Alex Telles of Porto, Ben Chillwell of Leicester City and Tagliafico of Ajax. The Leicester City man possess a wealth of experience having played consistently in the Premier League for almost three seasons now but the problem with any potential deal happening is the fact that Leicester City are reluctant to sell and also the Player’s valuation of £50million also bring another stumbling block.
Nicholas Tagliafico is the man Lampard needs
The Argentine Left back is a constant fixture at the back for the Amsterdam out fit, he is full of pace and does his defensive duty to great effect.
Nicolas Tagliafico possess a wealth of UEFA Champions League experience, he is solid defensively. The 27 year old possess a good in build-up making home a proper fit for the EPL.
The Argentine Left back is a strong tackler of the ball and have won the most possession through tackles/interceptions (45) in the UCL group stage this season.
The best part, he’s available for just over 20 million. Hence, Chelsea FC can easily sign him.
Do you think Tagliafico is the man to solve Chelsea’s defensive issues at the left back spot?
