Chelsea legend, Gianfranco Zola believes Chelsea made selling three players in the past.
According to Zola, the Blues struggled last season because of the departures of Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho, who left Chelsea for Arsenal in January 2023.
“Chelsea have had a hard season especially at the beginning, but they changed a lot,” Zola told Ladbrokes.
“They put a lot of young players in place, and lost a lot of experienced ones like Jorginho, Havertz, and Kovacic. They lost many players who were the soul of the team, the leaders, so it took time to get going.
“But finally Pochettino got it working and it was working quite well. It was very surprising to see him leaving and I don’t know the full reasons but obviously from a supporter point of view I am disappointed.”
Chelsea finished in 6th position last season as they secured a spot in the Europa League.
