But unlike many of its characters, he is being forced to wait for his coming‑of‑age journey.

The Argentine, 21, is struggling to stand out among the cast at Stamford Bridge, having been linked with a transfer and drawing criticism for a lack of output in attack and switching off defensively. Garnacho has started only seven of Liam Rosenior's first 20 games in charge, with opportunities often coming in cup games against lesser opposition such as Pafos, Charlton, Hull City and Wrexham. So what's happening with the winger, signed for £40m from Manchester United last summer, and can he still realise his potential at Stamford Bridge?

However, Garnacho also addressed the controversy surrounding his departure.

"I remember that, in the last six months, I was not playing like before at Manchester United ," he said. "I started to be on the bench. It's not such a bad thing - I was only 20 years old - but in my mind it was like I had to play every game.

"In my mind, maybe it was also on me. I started to do some bad things. But it was just a moment in life and sometimes you have to make decisions.

I am really proud to be here and still in the Premier League at a club like this. "About United, I have nothing wrong to say about the club, anyone at the club or my team-mates. It was just a moment that changed and life continues.

" The controversies he referred to included accusations of ill-discipline, a lack of professionalism and a series of public social media posts by him and his brother. These issues contributed to his exit under former boss Ruben Amorim, with Garnacho running down his contract and securing a move to Chelsea . Since arriving Stamford Bridge, the forward has repeatedly said he is "happy here", praising vice‑captain and compatriot Enzo Fernandez as being "like my dad", having spoken in the same way about United captain Bruno Fernandes.
