Chelsea signs Dario Essugo to bolster midfield defense

Chelsea has reached an agreement to sign Dario Essugo, a 20-year-old midfielder known for his physical play and defensive skills. He aims to provide support alongside Moises Caicedo in the midfield. Essugo has experience from his time at Sporting CP and a loan at Las Palmas, where he showed promise but also faced issues with discipline, receiving multiple red cards. His ability to win duels and make interceptions could benefit Chelsea's style of play. The club plans for Essugo to help alleviate Caicedo's workload next season. While he has potential, his past errors and indiscipline will need to be addressed as he transitions to the Premier League.
