Jason Cundy claims Chelsea need a player like Harry Maguire

Chelsea have paid the price for not signing a replacement for Levi Colwill, who suffered an ACL injury before the start of the season.
The Blues have conceded 34 goals under Liam Rosenior and have kept one clean sheet in the league since he arrived at the start of January.
Chelsea have been linked with Jan Paul van Hecke and Maxence Lacroix, but Cundy feels they need a player like Maguire.
“Maguire has had a brilliant couple of weeks recently, he’s got himself in the England squad, there’s a chance he goes to the World Cup. You go back three months ago, there would have been no chance,” he told talkSPORT.
