Former Chelsea player Shaun Wright-Phillips has issued a caution to Argentine winger, Alejandro Garnacho regarding the need to regain his form at Stamford Bridge.
The Argentine transferred to Chelsea from Manchester United last summer but has faced challenges in making the expected impact.
Wright-Phillips, who won the Premier League and the FA Cup during his three-year tenure with Chelsea, shared his insights with Garnacho.
He believes that Garnacho must earn the trust of the Blues’ supporters through his performances before it becomes too late.
In a conversation with Sky Bet, as reported by Metro, Wright-Phillips remarked that Garnacho has not delivered sufficient performances since his move to the London club.
“I feel like he may need to put his ego a little bit in check.
“Because in the Premier League, a half season or one season is not good enough. To reach a level where people want to acquire you, it must be a consistent effort.”
Alongside advising Garnacho to manage his ‘ego’, Wright-Phillips emphasized the importance of hard work to gain the fans’ trust. With Liam Rosenior having several wingers at his disposal, the former Chelsea star warned that Garnacho could permanently lose his position if he does not enhance his performance.
Wright-Phillips added, “It’s acceptable to score occasionally, but I know the Chelsea fans expect at least 110% from you. If they observe you putting in that level of effort for the badge, they will support you.
“I’m not sure if it’s a tactical issue or if he’s unhappy, but they have nearly six or seven wingers, so he will need to take action because Gittens could easily step up at any moment.”
