Six tackles Saturday Cucurella registered six tackles (one won), five clearances and one interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Liverpool.
Impact Cucurella was busy behind the ball during Saturday's draw, snuffing out multiple Liverpool attacks. The left-back didn't get forward as much as might have been hoped, but piled on the defensive stats. Still any match with no chances created for Cucurella is disappointing.

Brighton's head of recruitment follows Potter to Chelsea
Chelsea has hired another member of Brighton's technical staff to continue the overhaul under its new ownershipNOVEMBER 15, 2022 • Associated Press
Makes five tackles in loss Cucurella made five tackles (two won) and logged two inaccurate crosses during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Arsenal.
Impact Cucurella got involved defensively but will most be known for standing still and hugging Granit Xhaka while the corner made it past him to Gabriel at the far post. It hasn't been a great week defensively with five goals conceded in two losses to Brighton and Arsenal, so Cucurella will need to hope a little more if he's to play for Spain at the World Cup.

Should be available Cucurella (illness) wasn't mentioned among those unfit ahead of Wednesday's match against AC Milan during manager Graham Potter's press conference.
Impact Cucurella was a late absence from Saturday's win over Crystal Palace and it doesn't seem to be anything substantial enough to keep him out for more than one game. If he does return, Cucurella could play as the left center-back in a back-three or at left-back if he's favored over Ben Chilwell.

Impact Cucurella has started six of the club's eight contests this season in which he has garnered two assists, 30 crosses (nine accurate) and 13 corners. He played at center-back in the first match under Graham Potter and seems most likely to be replaced by Kalidou Koulibaly in the starting XI Saturday, though it's still unclear who Potter prefers in his squad.

Completes Chelsea move Cucurella has completed a move to Chelsea in a record move from Brighton. The defender signed a six-year deal with the Blues.
Impact It's been a strange month for Cucurella, who was originally in talks to join Man City and then his price was too high, so Chelsea was next on the list. He eventually was barred from team training before this move on the day the season starts. It's quite the move for a player who has just one Premier League season under his belt, as he'll likely be used as more of a center-back than full-back, as Ben Chilwell has the left wing locked down. That said, Cucurella can also play on the wing and would take the backup role of Marcos Alonso, who is set to move away.

Impact At this point, Cucurella should probably be expected to sit out for Sunday's tilt and may have played his last match for Brighton. During the 2021-22 campaign, the defender featured in all 35 of his appearances for the club in which he tallied 115 crosses (29 accurate), 93 tackles and 65 clearances. If he does complete the move to Chelsea, Cucurella would likely challenge Ben Chilwell for a spot in the starting XI, though Cucurella did slot into central defense nine times last year and could be an option there as well.
