Saul Niguez has thanked his teammates at Chelsea after his difficult season-long loan spell at Stamford Bridge has come to an end.
The Atletico Madrid midfielder spent last season with the Blues but failed to live up to expectations for Thomas Tuchel’s side, playing only 23 times and making just 10 outings in the Premier League throughout the 2021/22 campaign.
Saul even had to play out of his preferred position for a chunk of his outings but did score once for the club during an FA Cup victory away at Championship side Luton Town. Saul was part of Chelsea’s squad for their FIFA Club World Cup triumph earlier this year, featuring as a substitute in the final win over Brazilian side Palmeiras in February, but ultimately his spell was disappointing.
