ATLANTA -- Chelsea's superior attacking quality told against LAFC at the FIFA Club World Cup on Monday. Whether that proves to be the case over a longer period is the question hanging over several members of the Blues' squad this summer.
Blues boss Enzo Maresca confirmed in the buildup to this 2-0 win that the club was looking for a winger, having opted not to sign Jadon Sancho on a permanent basis from Manchester United. With Mykhailo Mudryk also suspended pending the outcome of an investigation into a positive drugs test, the Blues explored a deal to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund but were unable to agree a fee before the pre-tournament transfer window closing.
