When Watford’s Ismaila Sarr ran past Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell on the stroke of half-time at Vicarage Road last week, Chelsea fans spent the next few minutes on social media giving the England international stick.
Many in the fanbase think that, at £80 million, the Englishman is considerably overpriced and doesn’t represent value for money, despite being only 23 and Premier League proven.
By the time the Senegal star left the Leicester defender for dead in the second-half, when he ran on to a through-ball for the Hornets’ best chance of their lunch-time kick-off, the Blues supporters’ bias against the young left-back grew.
