We saw plenty of big names players come in and really impress in this preseason, but nobody will have been more delighted by the minutes they got than Bashir Humphreys.
The young defender played a lot for Mauricio Pochettino in the end, taking advantage of the injury to Wesley Fofana and ending up featuring in all 5 preseason games.
His future looked bright already after an impressive time in the academy and a nice loan spell at Paderborn in the second half of last season. Now he’s done it with the first team, he can aim even higher.
Nizaar Kinsella today reports that Coventry, who came close to Premier Leauge promotion last season, and interested in loaning the central defender this year. The 20 year olf will have plenty of interest, but first Chelsea have to sort out a new contract with him.
His current deal expires in a year’s time, and his showings in the US will have done wonders for his bargaining power.
