Malo Gusto says Chelsea player who hardly gets a game is one of the best in training

This summer window provides a clean slate for the entire squad, giving several underperforming players a crucial opportunity to prove their worth in a completely new tactical system.

Fringe winger Jamie Gittens has struggled for regular minutes along with the likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap for consistency. Alonso’s arrival offers these struggling profiles a fresh start to rebuild their Stamford Bridge careers before the new season begins.

Jamie Gittens named as the toughest player at Chelsea

On the Talk Footy TikTok page, Malo Gusto has picked a struggling Gittens as one of the toughest to face in training at Cobham.

Jamie Gittens’ debut season at Chelsea has been a mix of early promise and major frustration. Arriving from Borussia Dortmund for £48.5 million, the 21-year-old made an immediate impact, even breaking Eden Hazard’s record as the youngest Blues player to create five chances in a Champions League game.

However, his momentum was completely halted by a severe hamstring injury in late January, followed by an April training setback that derailed his campaign, leaving him with 16 Premier League appearances.

Chelsea’s winger options for next season

Chelsea possesses an abundance of winger options for Xabi Alonso to assess ahead of the summer.

On the left flank, Alejandro Garnacho and the fit-again Jamie Gittens offer direct, explosive running, as well as the potential of Mykhailo Mudryk, depending on what happens with his appeal.

The right side is heavily fortified by Portuguese international Pedro Neto and Estevao Willian.

However, Garnacho has really struggled and is even being linked with a summer exit, while Gittens perhaps can’t be relied on given his injury struggles of late.
