‘Take what you can and run’ - Chelsea fans are desperate for £18m-rated ace to depart

The Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern are hoping that their side will sign quality, rather than quantity this summer.

In recent years, Chelsea’s usually-solid transfer policy has changed tactic, with the club instead focussing on signing a plethora of players that can help build out the squad. Of course, squad depth is great – but a reduction in general quality is not.

That was certainly the story of last summer, with a handful of players including Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta moving to Stamford Bridge and failing to make an impact.

Now, it seems that the latter could be on his way out.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter Milan have asked for information regarding the Italian, with the Serie A side perhaps keen on bringing him back to his homeland.

Generally speaking, Zappacosta – who is rated at £18 million by Transfer Markt – had to settle for a backup role last season, with Victor Moses often preferred in his place.

Whether a move happens remains to be seen, but it’s fair to say that fans want it to be the case. Zappacosta clearly isn’t a popular man over on Reddit, with fans staking to the platform to urge their club to do the deal.

Take a look at what they’ve had to say below…
