Saul Niguez frustrated with lack of game time at Chelsea

Saul Niguez is growing increasingly frustrated with his current lack of game time at Chelsea, according to reports.

The Spain international joined Chelsea on the last day of the summer transfer window from Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan deal.




The Blues have the option to make the move permanent next summer but so far he has had little impact at Stamford Bridge.

Saul was replaced at the break during a debut to forget against Aston Villa in September and has been given only two minutes of game time in the league with his only starts coming in the Carabao Cup.




While he is happy in London, Saul has been surprised over the lack of opportunities thrown his way and wants to prove himself to Thomas Tuchel and his teammates.

‘This is not quite what Saul was expecting,’ a source told The Sun.

’He is not stupid and doesn’t think he should play in every game, he knows it might take time to get used to English football.

‘But when he hardly plays in the Premier League, how can he adapt? He has come from a big club and has played in big games before. He wants to show he can handle it.




‘He is not angry, he is happy in London, as is his girlfriend. They are determined to see out the move.

‘But he would like the chance to play a bit more. Being on the bench so much has come as quite a surprise.’

Despite his struggles, The Telegraph claim that Saul is not considering a January exit, with his fellow Spaniards in London helping him settle into the city.

Having been left out of Spain squad, Saul will ‘work intensively’ with Tuchel during the international break with the London side still confident he will come good.
