19-year-old Ajax defender Harto is about to join Chelsea for a transfer fee of about 35 million pounds. The Telegraph published an article talking about why Chelsea wanted to sign Harto.
Chelsea believes that potential new aid Harto can relieve the pressure on Cucurella. The 19-year-old Harto is competent for multiple positions in the back, including central defenders. According to the Telegraph, Chelsea mainly regards him as a deep complement and contender for the left back.
Last season, Cucurella played more than any Chelsea non-goalkeeper, including in the Club World Cup, and made a total of 54 appearances in the season, 4 more than midfielder Kesse. Kukurelia is one of Chelsea's best and most stable players, and head coach Maresca does not want players to be overdrawn or injured due to excessive use of it. The club also realized that Cucurella has undertaken too many game tasks, and Chelsea will also compete in the Premier League and the Champions League next season.
Kesedo, Palmer and Enzo, who ranked second, third and fourth in playing time last season, were also key players, but Chelsea had enough depth to rotate and rest in these positions. The signing of Hato this time was precisely due to considerations of Cucurella. The left-back is one of the positions where Chelsea believes that it is relatively weak in terms of both number and quality. Harto's ability to be a left-center-back is also good news for Colville, who ranked fifth in the team last season.
