Having just missed out on a move to Newcastle United, Marc Cucurella now has the chance to join another Champions League club.
The Spaniard was on Newcastle’s list of left-back targets, with Dan Ashworth very keen to bring him to St James’ Park.
There was talk of a loan deal with an option to buy, with Cucurella seemingly enthused by the prospect of signing for the Magpies before the transfer window closes.
However, wages always felt like they would be an issue, and in the end Newcastle went for someone else. Instead, the Magpies have bought Lewis Hall, with that deal bringing an end to Howe’s interest in Cucurella.
That was a blow for the 25-year-old, as it is clear that he needs a move away from Stamford Bridge. But as one door closes, another opens.
