Chelsea fans wont miss Rudiger with summer signing of absolute beast – it is announced
Chelsea won’t miss Antonio Rudiger with Kalidou Koulibaly filling in at the back, according to club legend Gus Poyet.
Rudiger left the club right at the start of the summer window after months of speculation – simply because Chelsea were unable to hand him a new contract because of that sanction on the club
He had been one of the clubs best performers and alot of fans are unhappy that he was not retained by ChelseaFC – but he has moved on now and will become a massive part of that Real Madrid side
Koulibaly was brought in this summer to shore up the Blues’ defence – as he is one of the very best in world football and a defender that Cheslea have been trying to sign for a very long time
And Poyet thinks his former team made a good choice when signing Koulibaly – as he will a very good replacement for Rudiger – Poyet told Lord Ping: “Koulibaly is a top player and is a very good replacement for Rudiger.
“He has suffered a bit with cramp against Everton and with the pace of the Premier League, but he is calm, composed, strong, both footed, great in the air.
“He’s got all the attributes of a great center-half and he’ll settle down very quickly.
“It’s easier for defenders to settle down quicker than midfielders and forwards.”
