Aaron Anselmino tipped to become great player

Aaron Anselmino has been tipped to become a ‘great footballer’ and star for Argentina by Boca Juniors president Juan Roman Riquelme, as he heads to CHELSEA this week to link up with Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge

The teenage defender has been gaining first team experience at Boca, making 11 appearances in the Argentine top flight this season and Riquelme has seen enough to be convinced he is going to the top.

Anselmino was being touted as a potential superstar after his maiden season as a senior professional at Boca Juniors. His performance in the 2023-24 campaign grabbed the attention of Chelsea recruiters, who wasted no time in sealing a transfer for the young defender for just £17 million ($22m) in the summer.

The player, who has committed to move to Stamford Bridge on a seven-year deal, immediately returned to the Argentine club on loan at least until January 2025, and has continued to impress over in his homeland

Per Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have now decided to recall the 19-year-old from his loan spell after just six months. Anselmino is expected to travel to London by the end of this week and join Enzo Maresca’s squad at Cobham

Now the former Boca, Barcelona and Villarreal star, who is now president at La Bombonera has claimed that Anselmino has the potential to become a great player, he told ESPN: ‘He has developed a lot.

‘With the growth, the head that he has and the desire to learn that he shows, he is on his way to being a great footballer.

‘He is going to be a player for the national team. He is going to compete with the centre-backs.’

There is alot of hype surrounding the talents of Anselmino and the CHELSEA board clearly have big hopes for the lad, but he needs the patients, game time and help to develop into a great player.

Playing in the Premier League for a big club like Chelsea will be a real test for the lad over the next few seasons.
