Opinion: Chelsea can now boast of having one of the best midfield depth after years of neglect

As soon as Chelsea verified the Romeo Lavia signing, they now have assembled one of the quality midfielders in world football within the space of just two successful transfer windows.

For years this area of the pitch has been unnoticed by the club and owners. Chelsea have now not had a true holding midfielder ever since Nemanja Matic left the club in 2017.

Although they've got had a few respectable (some very good) midfielders, however the midfield, on the whole, has been nowhere close to precise enough, unbalanced, and lacking the precise profiles to compete within the highest-quality league.

If you need to win games frequently and be a consistent force in world football you need to be sure that you have a good engine of the team, that is the midfield. And that starts offevolved at the base of it, with a defensive midfielder.

Chelsea now with Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, and the now-announced Romeo Lavia, have it honestly all in the midfield now and it's a top-notch moment and a great feeling for the Blues fans.

Enzo Fernandez was the one the single-handedly carried the midfield and the crew for the remainder of last season when they had an atrocious year of football, but now he finally has the assist that he wishes and deserves.

Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia will offer the protective stability and cognizance that they've needed and lacked for so long, in addition to athleticism and physicality. Both players recognize how to defend, close gaps, intercept, and positioned an address - all matters they've got badly missed.

Then ahead of them would be Enzo Fernandez, who can be free to go and do what he's excellent at and this is create and shoot. Enzo Fernandez certainly has a superb shot on him and knows a way to find the goal net, but he turned into so pinned lower back last season they never got to see much. He also has great sight to make an awesome pass, and now he could have the liberty to do all of that.

It's a dream come true for Chelsea lovers and it does still very plenty of experience like that, a big dream! But it's no longer a dream, Chelsea now have an excellent and suitable midfield with the perfect complimentary profiles to each other. What a future they have, and they're all young so it's a destiny that they must see thrive, get higher, and have for many years to come back.
