Chelsea's poor form continued on Saturday as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge. The Blues were outplayed throughout the game by the visitors who had a more clinical edge in front of goal.]
Head coach Graham Potter was unable to inspire his team to victory despite making several changes to the starting lineup. He opted to rest some key players, including Reece James, Mason Mount and Jorginho, but their replacements failed to step up to the plate.One player who has been linked with a move to Chelsea in recent weeks is Getafe left-back Marc Cucurella. The 23-year-old has been in fine form for the Spanish side this season, and reports suggest that the Blues are keeping a close eye on his performances.
Cucurella was on target for Getafe in their 1-0 win over Cadiz on Saturday, and his impressive showing will have caught the attention of Chelsea scouts. However, it remains to be seen whether the club will make a move for the Spaniard in the upcoming transfer window.
Meanwhile, Potter will be under increasing pressure following this latest defeat, with Chelsea now languishing in 11th place in the Premier League table. The bookmakers have slashed his odds of being the next top-flight manager to be sacked, and it seems that his time at Stamford Bridge could be running out.
