Chelsea star's agent reveals why 23-year-old didn't secure January transfer

 

Malang Sarr 's agent has revealed that his client remained at Chelsea during the January transfer window due to Thomas Tuchel's tendency to give young players opportunities. Sarr joined the Blues from Nice in the summer of 2020 but was immediately loaned out to Porto for the rest of the season.

The 23-year-old returned to the London club at the start of the current campaign. He was expected to be loaned out once more due to intense competition for places in defense. However, Sarr did not leave in any of the last two windows, and his representative has given reasons for his client's decision to remain at Stamford Bridge. Speaking to L'Equipe, Sarr's agent said:

“During last summer, we tried to loan him again but the offers we received from France and Germany didn’t suit us.

“ We, therefore, decided to leave him at Chelsea, thinking that he would have opportunities because of the problems linked to Covid but also because Thomas Tuchel gives young players a chance if they have the right state of mind.”

Sarr has made 12 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea this season, three of which came in the Premier League .

The defender has impressed whenever he has taken to the field, and his versatility has seen him deployed across different positions at the back.
