'A new world, a new culture' - Enzo Maresca explains Chelsea plan to help Aaron Anselmino adapt to Premier League after recall from Boca Juniors loan

Chelsea signed Anselmino from Boca Juniors for £17 million ($22m) in the summer and immediately sent him back to the Argentine club on loan. The Blues have now recalled the defender following the conclusion of the football season in the South American nation.

Ahead of the 19-year-old's arrival in London, Blues boss Maresca revealed how the club plan to help the youngster get adjusted to the Premier League and the new environment in England.

Speaking to the club's official website, the Italian coach said: "‘He’s another talent, another good player. Now the most important thing is that he arrives here, adapts himself, finds a house, and settles in the right way. Then we need to give him time because when you come from the other part of the world, you need to adapt. You need to see a new world, a new culture. For sure we are going to try to help him to adapt as soon as possible.

"At the moment, the plan is to keep him here to allow him to work with us and then to take a decision. If he’s here it’s because we think he is a good player, and he can help us, but for sure he is very young, and he is coming from Argentina, with a completely different culture, different football, different level, so he needs time to adapt."

The west Londoners are back in action on Saturday as they play their first match of the New Year against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Anselmino is not available to be included in the squad yet.
