A new Chelsea signing has shared his verdict on Enzo Maresca as a coach and his desire to play in the Champions League.

Dortmund improved considerably as a collective following the appointment of Niko Kovač, who adopted a system that reduced the need for a touchline winger of Gittens’ ilk. Width was instead supplied from wing-backs, while speedster Karim Adeyemi performed a more prominent role in Kovač’s attack.

It’s rumoured a fee in the region of £50m could be enough to prise Madueke away from Stamford Bridge, with Arsenal having reportedly agreed personal terms already. While some might be struggling to see the logic in Chelsea letting him go, there is a chance his departure fixes an unwanted problem for Enzo Maresca.
