In recent years, Chelsea has often brought in many players and staff from Brighton, especially coach Graham Potter, and spent 115 million pounds to have the services of Moises Caicedo.
Chelsea have brought in quite a number of Brighton players in recent years, the club has paid out more than £200 million in fees and compensation, not including the money paid to Paul Winstanley, Bruno Saltor, Ben Roberts and many other members of the backroom staff have moved from the Amex Stadium to Stamford Bridge.
Graham Potter
Transfer fee: 22 million pounds.
Current position: fired by Chelsea.
We cannot blame Graham Potter when he quickly took the opportunity to join Chelsea after his efforts to build success for Brighton in the previous 3 seasons. Although Chelsea’s owners “pumped” £600 million in transfer costs, the club’s performance is still extremely bleak. After 6 months of taking the hot seat at Chelsea, coach Graham Potter was fired.
Coach Graham Potter was fired by Chelsea after the club’s disappointing achievements.
Marc Cucurella
Transfer fee: £56 million, plus £7 million in additional fees.
Current position: lost official position in the squad.
After a sublime season at Brighton, Cucurella’s forte is as a left-back and he can also play as a left-sided centre-back. Former Chelsea coach at that time, Thomas Tuchel, recruited Cucurella because the Spanish defender could play many positions on the field, suitable for his tactics.
This past summer, Cucurella was almost loaned to Manchester United until the Red Devils decided to choose Sergio Reguilon and now Cucurella is behind Ben Chilwell and Colwill in the order of choice for the new Chelsea coach. Mauricio Pochettino.
Marc Cucurella is not the preferred choice under coach Pochettino.
Moises Caicedo
Transfer fee: 115 million pounds
Current position: in the official squad but performance is unstable.
Moises Caicedo’s progress has been rapid and he made such an impression at Brighton last season that Chelsea signed him for a record transfer fee, making Moises Caicedo the most expensive player in the Premier League. Older brother. But it was the pressure of being an expensive player in a big team that made the Ecuadorian midfielder struggle in his first matches at Chelsea.
Moises Caicedo needs more time to regain his original form when he was still playing at Brighton.
Levi Colwill
Transfer fee: no fee
Current position: key player for many years to come.
Last season, Levi Colwill played explosively for Brighton on loan from Chelsea, making a major contribution to helping this team rank 6th in the Premier League and win tickets to the Europa League. Brighton was impressed with Levi Colwill’s abilities and wanted to buy him outright, but their offer worth £30 million was quickly rejected by Chelsea.
Afterward, Chelsea confirmed that they had extended Levi Colwill’s contract until 2029, with an option to extend for a year after the urging of coach Mauricio Pochettino.
Levi Colwill is becoming an irreplaceable factor in Chelsea’s defense.
Robert Sanchez
Transfer fee: 25 million pounds
Current position: team’s number 1 goalkeeper.
The Stamford Bridge team spent 25 million pounds to get the signature of goalkeeper Robert Sanchez from Brighton. Initially, Robert Sanchez came to Chelsea just to be a backup for goalkeeper Kepa, who moved to Real Madrid, so obviously he will become Chelsea’s number 1 goalkeeper after Kepa leaves. However, Robert Sanchez’s current form is also worried by Chelsea fans as he has not performed up to expectations, but he still believes that his performance will get better with each match.
Fans expect Sanchez to soon make his mark at Stamford Bridge.
