Didn't they do due dillegence on him e.g talk to someone who played with him at Marseille and asked what he was like in training?As the article says, when the striker cannot follow instructions, what do you do?
I saw him a lot and he reminded me of Darren Bent. Very good at making runs across six yard box and scoring tap ins but was pretty poor at hold up play with his back to goal on edge of the box, so often it would just bobble off his shins and they'd lose possesion. From what I've seen it's been the same at Chelsea.
Same as when I saw Bakayoko constantly pass to Juventus players in the champions league. Chelsea seemed to ignore that, sign him for 30m and quickly bench him when they realised five games later he wasn't very good at passing.
Had a really odd transfer window in 2017.
