69% Informative
Virgil van Dijk signed for Liverpool on a two-year deal last week .
Van Dijk was a Premier League-winning defender and captain of club and country.
Chelsea investigated the possibility of signing him as a free agent this summer .
It would have broken just about every rule the club’s new ownership has applied to the recruitment of players since January 2023 .
Maresca has at times been at odds with the supporters and the general mood at Stamford Bridge .
The strongest voice in the dressing room has been Tosin Adarabioyo , just 27 and not always in the team.
The emergence of Cole Palmer , the pick of the signings, has shown what is possible.
Chelsea may yet do enough to secure a Champions League place in their final six games.
