Chelsea have been in inspired form under manager Maurizio Sarri this season, and are unbeaten after 10 English Premier League games.
The Italian boss made few additions to the squad upon his arrival.
Sarri came along with Jorginho from Napoli, Mateo Kovacic arrived on a season-long loan from Real Madrid, while Kepa Arrizabalaga came in from Athletic Bilbao, becoming the most expensive goalkeeper in history.
The trio have all hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, but the Croatian hasn’t been able to lay claim to a permanent berth, and with the duo of Ross Barkley and Ruben Loftus-Cheek starting to impress, it promises to be a keen contest for playing minutes in Chelsea’s midfield.
