Malang Sarr

There were rumours about a loan but he is still training at Chelsea currently. Perhaps he will end up staying if he impresses in training, and perhaps that explains why we are (allegedly) willing to let Rudiger leave.

I like that idea

 
The league is fine but they picked the worse club of the top 3 to send him to.

I'll be surprised if he gets anywhere near the pitch baring an injury crisis.

 
He needs to outperform all the CBs there to even get a spot there. Might go the route of Ampadu..

How was his performance against City?

It was a decent performance and one of their better defenders in a 5-4-1 formation. He won all his ground dwells & kept Mahrez silent. His 1st game in 7 months so overall a good performance.

 
Has anyone been following this guy closely? I only managed to see bits of him against Juventus so can't make a judgement at all.

With Tomori as good as gone and Kurt not fitting in as a ball playing defender, I wonder if he can step up and learn from Thiago next season while deputising for Rudiger in that left CB spot. 

Edit: If it were up to me, I wouldn't loan any defender next season, just so they can stay next to Thiago and learn just about everything there is about defending. Get him to hang out with the u18 on the days off, he'll feel at home!

I watched a highlights video and even that had him giving the ball away, or just making simple headers, so likely they couldn't find much that was any good to show.

 
Wonder if we might see him as an option for LWB and competition to Alonso while Ben is out?

 
Malang Sarr against Tottenham:

 105 Touches  

88 Passes  

93% Pass Accuracy

 5/9 Long Balls  

100% Aerial Duels

 5/10 Ground Duels  

4 Tackles

 
Didn’t look out of place at all did he..seems to be growing into the role

 
He actually reminds me of Rudiger -loves his defending, is passionate and physical. If Rudiger does stay, he could teach him so much along with the smoothness and intelligence of Silva. 

 
Best game ive seen from him, especially 1st half but I still dont see im here long term. 

His long ball accuracy really needs work, but if he can improve that aspect, and cut out the rash mistakes, i think he we can make a good profit on him.

In the minority but I can actually see it. He was once the 5th highest rated u20 player in the world, and you don’t play for the French team across all youth age group if you aren’t talented. He is in the same boat as CHO for me, he has missed so much game time because of his contractual issue at Nice, and now presently we are too big for him. IMO he just needs an 18mth loan to get up to speed. I will loan him out to a Roma or Watford where he will he be guaranteed game time. Pretty certain 2023 season he will be replacing Silva in the 1st team.

Would be great if both him and Chalobah grow into being reliable options in the future.

 
I think he’s shown enough to keep him around the squad for cup games and as a back up option.
