As Enzo Maresca embarks on reshaping Chelsea’s squad, he’s confronted with a pivotal call—cutting loose a struggling player whose recent form has drawn troubling comparisons to Kai Havertz’s inconsistent spell at the club. With expectations soaring and fans demanding hunger and consistency, Maresca can’t afford to take risks on players delivering subpar performances.
The underperformer in question, rated a dismal 2/10 in recent outings, is quickly becoming symbolic of Chelsea’s deeper issues. If the club is serious about restoring its dominance and identity, this move must be more than tactical—it should send a clear message: underachievement won’t be tolerated under Maresca’s leadership. Only those ready to deliver will have a place in his Chelsea project.
