The manager revealed the difficulty of finding roles for so many players after the club made eight signings, including a British transfer record £106.8m for Enzo Fernández
The midfielder became Chelsea’s eighth signing during January, albeit with Malo Gusto loaned back to Lyon, and Potter could struggle to keep everyone happy given that Jorginho was the only sale. The head coach, who must deal with an unhappy Hakim Ziyech after the winger’s loan to Paris Saint-Germain broke down, will have to leave some players disappointed and contend with Chelsea being able to register only three of the incomings in their 25-man Champions League squad.
“When you go through a period of transition and the steps we’ve gone through then there are going to be periods when it is going to be tougher than you ideally want – it’s not optimal. I am not complaining about it and I have to do my best to support and manage the club. Step by step I want to put the team in a better place than when I arrived.”
Chelsea broke the British transfer record by signing Enzo Fernández from Benfica for £106.8m on deadline day.“We’re still in the Champions League,” he said, referencing the upcoming last-16 tie with Borussia Dortmund. “We’ve got ambitions to go deep into the competition. As soon as you think about that, there’s three games a week quite often. I don’t think you can achieve success with just 11 here.
