'So frustrating' — Chelsea slammed for decision to sell ₦71 Billion rated Eagles star

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has expressed his disappointment over the club's decision to sell one of their brightest defensive talents.

The Blues sold Marc Guehi to Crystal Palace and he has turned into one of the league's finest defenders.

Guehi Chelsea's academy at the age of seven, and after making his first-team debut in 2019, he was sent on loan to Swansea City before being sold to Crystal Palace in 2021.

He has since become a key player for Palace, and Chelsea are now reportedly trying to bring him back to Stamford Bridge to solve their defensive crisis.

"The priority for Chelsea is in central defence," Cole told Paddy Power.

"Benoit Badiashile is picking up injuries and Wesley Fofana has been wonderful, but he keeps on breaking down. Levi Colwill is a young player who's done well but he still needs to develop and improve, and he will do."

"It's so frustrating for Chelsea because they've sold someone like Marc Guehi, and he's gone on to become a top centre half which I could see [at the time].

"Guehi is a proper player and he's in England's starting line up"
