Chelsea fans will have had mixed feelings when their club decided to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United this summer.
The Argentine was a bit of a controversial figure at Old Trafford, having started out as a promising youngster who seemed to have the potential to become a genuine world beater.
However, in the end, Garnacho was not very popular with Man Utd fans due to a lack of consistency and some signs of a poor attitude.
Garnacho didn’t start particularly well at Chelsea, and now leading football statistics site WhoScored has judged him to be a player without significant strengths, while his weaknesses are aerial duels and crosses, the latter being a bit of a problem for a winger…

This is pretty brutal on WhoScored’s part, even if it wasn’t originally intended to be that way.
Can Alejandro Garnacho turn around his career at Chelsea?
Garnacho has shown signs of immense potential, and perhaps he just needs the right manager to harness it.
Many quality players have been unable to find their best form at United, so Garnacho is far from the first to experience this problem.
Perhaps the 21-year-old will flourish at Stamford Bridge in time, but that hasn’t really happened for him yet.
Did Chelsea even need to sign Garnacho?
Chelsea’s decision to sign Garnacho when they have already brought in Jamie Gittens and Estevao Willian in one summer seems a bit strange.
If the deal doesn’t work out, serious questions will have to be asked of the west London giants when there were clearly other areas of their squad that needed strengthening, such as defense and goalkeeping.
