Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly decided whether or not he wants Denis Zakaria to stay at Chelsea. The 26-year-old midfielder joined the Blues on loan from Juventus, arriving with an option-to-buy clause in his contract which is thought to be worth £26million.
Despite having impressed when called upon, Zakaria was starved of opportunities in the starting lineup. The Switzerland international featured just 13 times for the west Londoners across all competitions, averaging 55 minutes an appearance.
When Graham Potter was in need of some fresh legs in midfield, Zakaria always stepped up to the plate. But, under Frank Lampard, he was omitted from the matchday squad on several occasions, playing just once.
