Chelsea\u2019s busy week continues. Just a day after announcing Danny Welbeck\u2019s arrival and revealing that Mykhailo Mudryk would be able to join the squad after his doping ban was reduced, the Blues have admitted to the worst kept secret in football by confirming that Valentin Barco would be joining the Blues from sister club Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

Barco\u2019s Chelsea role remains a mystery<\/h2>\n

Barco is an interesting case \u2013 he struggled as a left back in the Premier League in his spell at Brighton, but has looked excellent in Ligue 1 as a central midfielder. It\u2019s not quite clear where his primary position will be at Chelsea, and we will find out a lot in the friendlies to come.<\/p>\n

However, after reaching the World Cup final with Argentine Barco still has some time left on holiday, and may not join the squad until they return from Asia in ten days. The game at Stamford Bridge against Real Sociedad on the 15th of August may be the first chance we get to see him in Blue.<\/p>\n

Even that may come too soon for him if he doesn\u2019t join the squad next week.<\/p>\n

The attempts to change Chelsea\u2019s \u201cculture\u201d will involve more than just signing experienced players, and Xabi Alonso knows it.<\/a><\/p>\n

Alonso was promised backing in the transfer market and the power to pick players \u2013 and it looks like he\u2019s got it.<\/a><\/p>\n

Alonso also spoke about Mykhailo Mudryk and what the club are planning to do to help integrate him after 18 months out of the game.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
