Wesley Sneijder criticized Chelsea’s choice to sign Marc Cucurella and called Wesley Fofana a “waste of money.”

The two defenders, who Chelsea spent a total of €145.7 million on last summer, took part in the club’s 2-0 loss to Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal match.

Fofana, who has experienced injury issues since joining from Leicester City, began the game in a back three. As for Cucurella, he replaced an injured Kalidou Koulibaly in the 55th minute.

“Who brings in a guy like that?” Sneijder said of Cucurella as per Voetbal Primeur.

“There are a few more like him running around [at Stamford Bridge].

“That Wesley Fofana too, signed for €80m, that really is a waste of money. Maybe the pressure is too big for him at such a big club.”

Cucurella may face his former club Brighton in Saturday’s Premier League clash. For betting tips and stats on the latest Chelsea game, visit the Ace Football match preview
