Chelsea now very interested in signing £35m defender who’s faster than Estevao

Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo struggled greatly in their last game against Nottingham Forest, to the point where Levi Colwill had to be thrown straight back into action after his ACL injury.

It just makes sense.

Chelsea keen on signing Joel Ordonez

Chelsea have previously sent scouts to watch Joel Ordonez at Club Brugge after Enzo Maresca was desperate to add a centre-back to the first team squad before this season.

Now, according to TeamTALK, Chelsea are keen on signing Ordonez after another impressive season with the Belgian side.

The 22-year-old has featured in 42 games in all competitions, popping up with four goals. He completes more than 90% of his passes in the league, and has made 167 defensive contributions so far.

The defender would instantly find a familiar face at Stamford Bridge in the form of Moises Caicedo. The pair are expected to line up together at the World Cup for Ecuador.

Will we win a game?

Ordonez is quicker than Chelsea wonderkid Estevao Willian

Estevao Willian enjoyed the majority of the success of his first season at Chelsea in the Champions League, scoring three goals.

He also was one of the club’s quickest players in the competition, however as per UEFA’s stats, Ordonez registered a higher top speed than the Brazilian.

Pace has been an element the Chelsea defenders have been lacking this season, exposed greatly when they attempted to play a high line under Liam Rosenior.

Doubts from Blues supporters will likely be based around his experience, with fans crying out for Premier League-proven players to be brought in this summer.
