Chelsea’s new signing has been spotted in training for the first time this week as he gets accustomed to his new surroundings in London.
However, it wasn’t all good news, with two key attacking players not spotted in any of the training pictures that were posted on X yesterday afternoon.
Scrolling through all of the pictures, you can see that new midfielder Mathis Amougou, who arrived at Chelsea from France on deadline day this January, taking part in his first session.
However, there is no sign of strikers Nicolas Jackson or Marc Guiu, who both went down injured during the win against West Ham on Monday night. Neither player actually went off injured, but both looked in a lot of discomfort at the time and at the full time whistle.
Guiu has been confirmed injured and will miss the Brighton match on Saturday afternoon in the FA Cup, but nothing has yet been confirmed either way for Jackson.
Of course, just because he’s not been spotted it does not mean he will definitely miss the game Saturday and is out injured, but it doesn’t look great.
Mathis Amougou trains for Chelsea for the first time!
The Blues have gone through the last five transfer windows and failed to sign a true and proven number 9. Nicolas Jackson for me will forever be more of a wide forward than a centre forward, and Marc Guiu looks decent but is also still very young and raw. Christopher Nkunku is NOT a striker.
The Blues were linked with a host of new strikers in the January transfer window, with Liam Delap of Ipswich Town being the most heavily linked. They also looked at names such as Benjamin Sesko. However, they did not sign a new striker, something they have consistently failed to do in five transfer windows.
They may well regret not signing a new striker in January.
