Chelsea officially announced the signing of Wesley Fofana from Leicester on Wednesday, taking their summer spending spree to in excess of £240million. Yet despite that, it’s still been a far from ideal start to the new season for Thomas Tuchel’s men.
Their 2-1 defeat to Southampton on Tuesday night meant they’ve won just two of their five league encounters so far, leaving the Blues rooted in mid-table.
Things started well enough at St Mary’s stadium on Tuesday night, with Raheem Sterling handing Tuchel’s men the lead after 23 minutes. However, Romeo Lavia equalised for the hosts just five minutes later before Adam Armstrong netted the decisive strike on the stroke of half-time.
