Franco Di Santo is a 20 year old striker who represent in Argentina U-20 squad. Once a hot prospect in Argentina whereby he scored 19 goals in 17 matches before making a switch from Audax Italiano to Chelsea. In Chelsea he doesn’t have any chance to perform with the like of Drogba, Anelka, Shevchenko and Pizarro around. He has play for Chelsea on 8 occasion which all as substitute and total up less than 120 minutes on pitch.

He then make a 6 months loan spell to Blackburn with option to extend 6 more months on 3rd Aug 09 in search for more regular football than remain in Stamford Bridge. With the departure of Roque Santa Cruz, Di Santo will have a better chance in rivaling Samba and Roberts for the role to partner Benni McCarthy upfront. I think a player of his talent shouldn’t waste his time on bench but to spend time on pitch and improve instead, he is just 20 year old, 1 year younger than Aguero, Argentina future might rely on hm.

He was bought to replace the missing role of Glen Johnson who left for Liverpool. The 33 year old Irish international veteran defender has lots of experience to offer as he previously spent 8 season in the English top flight with both Fulham and Liverpool.
