Head Coach of Chelsea Football Club, Thomas Tuchel has revealed that the Club is trying out Summer Signing, Saul Niguez in a new Position as the Former Atletico Madrid Man has failed to impress in Midfield since his Signing.

Saul Niguez was Signed on Loan from Atletico Madrid on Transfer Deadline day in the Summer of 2021 with an Option to sign permanently. 

The Highly Rated Midfielder at Atletico Madrid has failed to live up to Expectations in the English Premier League, having played Just 3 premier league games this season out of a possible 11 games and seeing Just 92 Minutes of football in the League this season. 


The Midfielder has also been used sparingly in the Champions League this season, playing just few minutes in two games. 

In Chelsea's Last EPL game against Watford, Saul Niguez Started the game but was cautioned in the 16th minute with a Yellow Card. The Midfielder Looks unconvincing and lacking in Confidence before being taken out at the Start of the Second half to avoid getting booked a second time which definitely would result to a sending-off. 

Thomas Tuchel, who is Very much Concerned on how things have turned out for his Summer Signing is determined to find out other possible positions Saul Niguez could be tried as he hopes to see the player Making valuable contributions to the Success of the team. 


Thomas Tuchel when questioned on whether Saul could be transformed into a makeshift full-back, Tuchel explained: "Yeah, he’s still adapting.

"He had an early yellow card [against Watford ], he was a bit shy to play all-in in the duels.

"For that we lacked a bit of his physicality because he did not want to risk a red card which was a good thing on that evening because we did not want to be one man down."

"I think that he could play in the wing-back role for us.

"Even if we play a dominant game and an offensive game because he’s very strong in arriving in the opponent’s box, very strong in finishing and has good timing to arrive on the second post with his head."

Up Next for Chelsea is a London Derby against 4th Placed WestHam United on the 4th of December. A win for Chelsea will see them Maintain their first Position on the League Table as Manchester City mounts pressure on them with just a single point separating both sides.
