One of the most intriguing aspects of Cucurella’s arrival is how he will link up with Vinicius Jr on the left side of the pitch. The former Chelsea man, who spent four seasons at Stamford Bridge winning the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup, is well aware of the Brazilian's attacking importance. He has already promised to take on the defensive burden to ensure the winger remains fresh for his trademark goal-scoring exploits.
