Denis Zakaria almost joined Liverpool on deadline day

Denis Zakaria was not short of suitors this summer. Denis Zakaria has said that he was close to a move to Anfield on transfer deadline day this summer. The Switzerland international joined Chelsea on loan this summer from Juventus. Speaking recently, Zakaria said that Liverpool were also eager to secure his services. "I heard that from my agent, but in the end it was Chelsea. It all happened very quickly. I didn’t know a move to Chelsea was possible until six hours before the end of the transfer window," said Zakaria. The Swiss midfielder also said that the style of football at Juventus didn't suit him. "I think I’ll be happier in England than in Turin. Difficult to say (what went wrong at Juventus). Maybe the style of football wasn’t mine. The team was a lot behind, didn’t have that much space. I’m a player who needs a lot of space for my runs. It might suit me better in England," said Zakaria.

Kai Havertz surprised by Thomas Tuchel s Chelsea exit

Kai Havertz has opened up on Thomas Tuchel's departure. Kai Havertz has said that he was surprised by the sudden departure of Thomas Tuchel. The German manager was relieved of his duties earlier this month, with Chelsea bringing in Graham Potter as a replacement. Speaking to Kicker, as cited by The Metro, Havertz said that the decision to sack Tuchel was a bit harsh but he's hopeful of achieving success under Potter. "Me too (it surprised me). Especially when you consider how we’ve played in the past year and a half and what we’ve won. With the current sixth place in the table, you can’t speak of a messed up start to the season, especially since we have many newcomers who first have to acclimatise," said Havertz. He added:"But football is very fast-moving; a lot can happen at any time. Our new coach has made a very good impression; we have a great squad. I think we are in for a good time." Havertz has one goal from eight appearances for the West London side this season. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Bhargav × Feedback Thank You!
