Chelsea boss Graham Potter is adamant that Todd Boehly’s recent social media activity doesn’t indicate he has lost faith in Marc Cucurella.
The Spanish defender was part of Boehly’s record-breaking spree to start his Stamford Bridge tenure, arriving from Brighton in a deal in excess of £60million. Cucurella signed during the American’s first window as owner and before Potter followed him from the Amex Stadium to west London.
But the 24-year-old has thus far failed to justify the investment Chelsea put forward for him, struggling for form under both Thomas Tuchel and now Potter. There has been a growing clamour for the left-back to be taken out of the firing line, particularly with the return to fitness of Ben Chilwell.
