Chelsea icon Gianfranco Zola has voiced his opinion that the club’s decision to sell three key players was a major factor in their early-season struggles last year.

Chelsea ultimately finished sixth in the Premier League, showing improvement in the latter part of the campaign.

Zola pointed to the sales of Kai Havertz to Arsenal, Mateo Kovacic to Manchester City, and Jorginho to Arsenal in January 2023 as significant setbacks.

He emphasized that these players were integral to the team’s core and leadership.

Zola, who played over 300 games for Chelsea between 1996 and 2003, remains a passionate supporter of the club and its direction.
