He\u2019s doing well. He was also like this at Man Utd. He\u2019s an on and off kind of player. I think they believe in him. They try to push him as much as they can. So give him some time to adjust. As much as I want to see them being good and playing well. That\u2019s the same with him, it\u2019s all the team and all of the players. What is their potential, what can they do at Chelsea?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/11\/09\/ruben-amorim-man-utd-afcon-challenge\/\" target=\"_self\">\u2018We are going to have a problem\u2019: Amorim Addresses Impending Issue for Man Utd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Discussing Garnacho\u2019s potential:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know.

He\u2019s attacking and direct, but works hard for the team. His speed makes him a great asset to his teammates when launching counterattacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/11\/13\/chelsea-legend-praise-summer-signing\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea Legend Heaps Praise on Brazilian Summer Signing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When he\u2019s confident, you see the best of the Argentine international. In Chelsea\u2019s recent win against Wolves, Garnacho\u2019s two assists showed a glimpse of what he\u2019s capable of with direct dribbling and dangerous crosses. Despite his recent performance against Wolves, Garnacho\u2019s end product needs to be more consistent, whether it\u2019s that final pass or shot.<\/p>\n<p>Garnacho is a player with massive potential, but is Chelsea the right club for him to reach it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image Credit<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>IMAGO \/ PA Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The professional career of Alejandro Garnacho has been an inconsistent but fascinating ride so far.
