Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher has raised a concern about Alot of players at the start of the season, but now he’s pointing at one player that is yet to make impacts in the Premier League.
Jamie Carragher has taken sheds about João Felix transfer to Chelsea this summer and he questioned the reason behind the signing despite having enough players for the same position.
The blues completed the permanent signing of Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid back in August in a £45m transfer.
However, Jamie Carragher previously shared his concern about the deal just days before it was officially signed… Saying that João Felix is not need at the London club due to overloaded squad.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have made a positive start to the 2024/25 campaign to wash away any fears that they would struggle under an inexperienced manager at the top level.
Instead, Enzo Maresca has won seven, drawn two, and lost two of his opening 11 competitive games as Chelsea manager.
“He’s a fantastic Guy and a good player to build the team with, but why did he came to Chelsea??… Jamie Carragher questioned in an interview with Footyvalid.
“Now, a player of his quality is in the second Eleven, It’s obvious the coach doesn’t know where to Play him” Jamie added.
It’s safe to say that the Portuguese Winger is still yet to start a single game in the Premier League since rejoining Chelsea in the summer.
Felix has been a deployed as a substitute five times already in the league, with his only starts coming against Barrow in the Carabao Cup and Gent in the Conference League.
The 24-year-old talent can play pretty much anywhere in attack. So far, the games he’s started this term has been in the No.10 position. Therefore, it’s pretty obvious that the Portugal international is primarily the understudy to Cole Palmer in the playmaker spot.
Felix can be used off the wing or as a second striker to bring extra firepower to Chelsea’s attack, but it’s looking like such an unlikely task for him to break into the starting line-up in the Premier League.
