GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Alejandro Garnacho made two key passes and won as many tackles during Chelsea's win at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend While it’s not entirely clear how close he has become to compatriot Enzo Fernandez, the pair’s shared Argentine background is understood to have helped Garnacho feel at home in a new environment. A few of Chelsea’s younger South American players have also played a role in helping him adjust to the group dynamic. Supporters have already taken notice of his enthusiasm and willingness to take on defenders during early cameos. However, sources close to the squad note that Garnacho still faces healthy competition for minutes, with Maresca keen to rotate his wide options in the opening months of the campaign. Overall, the early stages of Garnacho’s Stamford Bridge career have looked promising but grounded in reality. He’s settled well, made a strong first impression, and is showing the work ethic to grow into a key player - yet those within Chelsea are mindful that development takes time. For now, there’s quiet optimism that the move could be the start of something significant.
