Aaron Anselmino is set to rejoin Chelsea after his loan spell at Boca Juniors was cut short, marking an exciting new chapter in the 19-year-old defender’s career.

Speaking to ESPN, Anselmino shared his enthusiasm about the recall and the opportunity it presents:

“I’m very happy for this new opportunity. It’s a dream come true for any footballer. I’m very excited.”

Anselmino also revealed a conversation with Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez during his time away, which has fuelled his excitement about returning to the club:

“I talked to Enzo Fernandez when I went there. Everything is very good, I’m very happy.”

While the young defender is thrilled about rejoining the Blues, it remains unclear whether he will be integrated into Enzo Maresca’s first-team plans or sent on loan to another European club to continue his development.

Anselmino’s return comes at a time when Chelsea are focused on fine-tuning their squad, and fans will be eager to see whether he can make an impact in the coming months.
