Aaron Anselmino, the Argentine central defender born in 2005, possesses almost all the qualities required of a modern center-back. He is tall and strong, with excellent aerial ability, making him a key player in set-piece defense. His defensive technique is comprehensive, with outstanding positional sense and anticipation skills, which allows him to always take the initiative in defense. Not only is his defense solid, but he can also push forward with the ball when needed, adding vitality to the team's offense.
In August 2024, Chelsea officially announced the signing of Anselmino, who joined the Blues for a transfer fee of 16.5 million euros and was immediately loaned back to Boca Juniors to continue training in the Argentine league.
During his time at Boca Juniors, he performed exceptionally well and gradually became the core of the team's defense. According to official news: Chelsea recalled Anselmino earlier this month, and he will begin training with Chelsea next week.
