15-Second Brief
Ex-Chelsea captain Gary Cahill has slammed the sale of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City without signing a replacement, stating the team is left with only three midfielders, one of whom is aging.

Former Chelsea defender and captain Gary Cahill has heavily criticised the club's decision to sell midfielder Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City.

The ex-England international expressed his utter outrage over the club's transfer policy as the deadline approached:

This is just absolute madness on our part. We’ve sold Enzo and brought no one in? We’re left with at best three central midfielders, and one of them is already past it. I’m fuming.

Cahill is particularly disturbed by the glaring lack of options in midfield following the £125 million deal. The veteran believes the remaining squad depth in midfield will hinder Chelsea's chances of competing effectively over the long haul this season.
