His performance in the 2023-24 campaign grabbed the attention of Chelsea recruiters, who wasted no time in sealing a transfer for the young defender for just £17 million ($22m) in the summer.

The player, who has committed to move to Stamford Bridge on a seven-year deal, immediately returned to the Argentine club on loan at least until January 2025, and has continued to impress over in his homeland, but id heading back to the club this week.

Now the former Boca, Barcelona and Villarreal star, who is now president at La Bombonera has claimed that Anselmino has the potential to become a great player, he told ESPN: ‘He has developed a lot.

‘With the growth, the head that he has and the desire to learn that he shows, he is on his way to being a great footballer.

‘He is going to be a player for the national team. He is going to compete with the centre-backs.’
