Denis Zakaria had not featured for Chelsea since joining on loan in the summer but his debut offered hope of a mutually beneficial conclusion.
By the time the thoroughly underwhelming carousel of the continent’s unwanted central midfielders landed at Chelsea, around 1am the morning after transfer deadline day, the options were desperately sparse.
Zakaria was a welcome physical presence in the Chelsea midfield, interjecting himself into numerous Dinamo Zagreb moves with careful timing and purpose. Once N’Golo Kante recovers from his latest problems, the Frenchman’s hamstrings will welcome actual competition and cover in a role that no-one else has proven capable of playing for the Blues.
“The clubs and player will speak again, because at the moment this deal makes no sense for anyone involved,”of a “worrying” situation which has finally been mediated with first-team minutes. There need be no conciliation now the mutual benefit of this deal has become clearer.
