Enzo Maresca says this season’s experience will help Chelsea improve next term

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is looking to his current squad to prove their maturity next season rather than fall back on the transfer market.

A young Blues squad has lacked leadership in key moments during what has been a patchy campaign and their frailties could yet cost them, with Champions League qualification still far from certain.

Should they fall short in the race for the Premier League’s top five there will be no shortage of failures for Maresca to dwell on, chiefly having dropped five points against relegated Ipswich – more than any other side.
