Chelsea will part ways with defenders Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer. Furthermore, the club will function under a new ownership after Abramovich let go of the club. Additionally, as mentioned by the club’s manager, Kantes’ injury woes have caused another serious worry.
Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel recently spoke about Kante. The Blues boss said: “I think he [Kante] is our key, key, key player, but key, key, key players need to be on the pitch.
Kante himself admitted the uncertainty over his future. “The only thing is sure that I have one year and the only thing to finish this season. I’ll think about it in the right time,” he said.
Thus this summer transfer window can prove to be a crucial one for the club. Arsenal legend Ian Wright discussed the situation with Premier League Productions.
“What’s going to happen with Chelsea next summer season? Without an owner who used to just write off £100million every year,” said Wright.
“Is the new owner going to be able to do that? Because that’s how they’ve been able to do what they have been doing.
“How’s that going to happen now? They need defenders. They’re going to need defenders.
“Kante’s starting to get a little bit of injuries, so they’re going to need to replace him. What’s happening with [Romelu] Lukaku?
“It’s just crazy what’s happening at Chelsea. I can’t really put my finger on it deep down. But form’s gone, you see some of the games they’ve been so poor in the games.”
