Jamie Redknapp lauded Marc Cucurella’s elite status after the Spaniard’s vital substitute performance inspired Chelsea to a 3-2 comeback victory over West Ham.
Jamie Redknapp has branded Marc Cucurella “one of the best left-backs in the world” following Chelsea’s dramatic turnaround at Stamford Bridge.
Introduced at half-time with the Blues trailing, Cucurella provided the energy needed to shift the momentum, scoring the crucial equalizer.
Redknapp emphasized that beyond the goal, the Spaniard’s tactical versatility and high intensity remain indispensable to Liam Rosenior’s evolving Chelsea side.
The pundit highlighted how Cucurella’s drive complemented teammates Wesley Fofana and João Pedro during the recovery.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Redknapp stated: “Cucurella is one of the best left-backs in the world. [Wesley] Fofana can come forward with the ball which has an impact on the first one and then Joao Pedro gives you a bit of impetus. Cucurella is one of the guys you want in the team.”
