The young striker Marc Guiu is back at Chelsea and wasting no time in showing he belongs in the first team.
Marc Guiu : From loan recall to Chelsea spotlight
Marc Guiu’s story has taken a sharp twist in just a few weeks. The Spanish striker was sent to Sunderland to gain minutes. Now, he is back at Chelsea after the Blues pulled the plug on his loan.
The decision came after Liam Delap’s hamstring blow left Enzo Maresca short of attacking options. With Nicolas Jackson still moving on to Bayern Munich, Chelsea needed a fresh option up front. The player was happy about the sudden switch. He returned with a point to prove. He will be fighting for a spot alongside Joao Pedro. The forward will be aiming to show he can deliver goals when it matters most.
Guiu impressed during Chelsea’s Conference League triumph last season with six goals. He has carried the same hunger back into training. Sunderland’s sporting director even admitted the recall only happened because they had already covered themselves with Brian Brobbey’s arrival. That says a lot about how much Chelsea pushed to get him back. This shows the faith they now have in his potential.
Hunger to impress under Maresca
Guiu is now locked in on grabbing his chance. Earning £50,000 per week, he still has four years left on his deal. Maresca has already praised his growth since leaving Barcelona. The head coach has promised him minutes in the coming weeks as well.
Guiu’s only start for Sunderland saw him bag a goal in the Carabao Cup. That sharpness will be needed now. Chelsea fans love a youngster who fights for the badge, and Guiu looks ready to take his swing.
