Sources: Why Chelsea are going down this left back route

The story on replacing Marc Cucurella

Many Chelsea fans have been left disappointed and miffed by Chelsea’s new left back search as the club look to replace Marc Cucurella after he joined Real Madrid this summer.

Cucurella’s boots are tough to fill, but even after saying that, Chelsea could have easily got a player of his level - and they did look into some names that would match that.

As reported by SPTC Sources at the time, Chelsea made a move to try and sign Lewis Hall from Newcastle United earlier in the summer.
