- Chelsea’s Denis Zakaria produced an outrageous piece of skill against Man City
- His graceful footwork capped off an impressive display from the midfielder.

- Zakaria is currently on loan from Juventus until the end of the season.
Chelsea fans have urged the club to sign Denis Zakaria permanently after he produced some outrageous skill in their side’s 1-0 loss to Manchester City on Thursday.
As Graham Potter’s side searched for a late equalizer, Zakaria found himself surrounded by two City players inside his own half, but managed his way out of the sticky situation with some striking footwork.
After playing a quick one-two with Mateo Kovacic, Zakaria had Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne closing in on him, but he improvised his way out of trouble, producing a bold step and then a crawl to get away from both. men before pinging in a perfect one-inch pass to the left wing.
Denis Zakaria had an outstanding performance in Chelsea’s defeat against Manchester City
He produced incredible ability to get away from Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne.
His flashy 88th-minute ability capped off an excellent display, and supporters have seen enough to convince them Chelsea should pay Juventus £30m to sign him permanently when his loan deal expires in the summer.
“We may have to activate Zakaria’s release clause,” one fan tweeted along with a video of his incredible footwork.
Another supporter agreed, writing: ‘He really is special. In fact, I’ll be mad if we don’t sign it.
Meanwhile, one fan simply added: ‘Permanent deal please.’
Despite Zakaria’s skill, Chelsea lost the game and remained within 10 points of fourth-placed Manchester United.
It’s been a disappointing campaign for the Blues so far, and one fan believes the team needs more players like Zakaria if they are to compete at the top of the table again.
‘Zakaria MOTM. What a performance! Fight, heart, skill and brain. If we can have 10 more of these along with a manager, we’ll be fine,” they wrote.
Having arrived from Italy on deadline day last year, Zakaria was used sparingly in the early part of the season.
He has begun to establish himself in the team since domestic football resumed after the World Cup, and one supporter believes Zakaria’s improved form is bad news for teammate Jorginho.
I know that Jorginho will not play again if Zakaria starts playing. My boy is a ball player’, they affirmed.
