January 2nd 2025.
Young football sensation Aaron Anselmino has just returned to his club Chelsea after completing his loan spell with Boca Juniors in Argentina. The 19-year-old has been making waves in the football world and has even caught the attention of Boca Juniors president Juan Roman Riquelme, who believes he has the potential to become a top player for his country.
Anselmino was signed by Chelsea earlier this year for a whopping £15.6 million, but he was immediately loaned back to Boca for the rest of the season. However, the loan has now been cut short and Anselmino has joined the rest of the Chelsea squad at Stamford Bridge, where he will continue his training.
During his time at Boca, Anselmino gained valuable experience by making 11 appearances in the Argentine top flight. This caught the eye of Riquelme, who was impressed with the young defender's growth, determination, and eagerness to learn. In an interview with ESPN, Riquelme expressed his belief that Anselmino is on his way to becoming a great footballer and will eventually represent his country on the international stage.
As for Chelsea, their plans for Anselmino are yet to be revealed. With a strong group of centre-backs already in the squad, including Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo, Axel Disasi, and Benoit Badiashile, Anselmino will have to compete for a spot in the starting lineup. However, with his potential and talent, it is clear that he is a valuable asset to the team.
Chelsea, who are currently looking to trim their squad, may also see some players leaving in January. This could potentially open up more opportunities for Anselmino to prove himself and earn a place in the starting lineup. Players like Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, Cesare Casadei, Harvey Vale, and Alex Matos are all up for transfer, either on loan or permanently.
The Blues will return to action this Saturday with a match against Crystal Palace. Manager Enzo Maresca will be looking to turn things around after a disappointing run of three games with only one point earned. With back-to-back defeats to Fulham and Ipswich, the team will be determined to bounce back and secure a win against their London rivals.
