Chelsea Must Overcome Two Key Obstacles

While Tel is now available, Chelsea face two major challenges in securing his signature:

1. Tel’s Concerns Over Playing Time

The 19-year-old is hesitant about joining Chelsea due to concerns about a lack of first-team opportunities—the very issue he is facing at Bayern. However, Chelsea’s current squad suggests he may not have as much competition as he fears.

With Mykhailo Mudryk suspended and Tyrique George recently promoted, Tel’s main competition on the left wing would be Jadon Sancho. Given Mudryk’s struggles, Tel could quickly establish himself as a starter.

Moreover, Tel’s versatility—he can play on the right wing and as a striker—gives him an edge over players like Mudryk and Noni Madueke, increasing his chances of regular game time.

2. Competition from Premier League Rivals

Chelsea are not the only club interested in signing Tel. Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester United are also in the race, with Arsenal hoping to strengthen their squad for the title race.

This means Chelsea must act fast and convince Tel that Stamford Bridge is the right destination.

Maresca Must Step Up to Win the Battle

If Chelsea truly want Tel, Enzo Maresca must play a key role in persuading him. Given the club’s need for attacking reinforcements, securing the French talent could prove to be a smart long-term investment.

With time running out, Chelsea must move quickly if they want to beat their rivals to Tel’s signature.
