I agree; steady contributions and clear growth would be a fair first-season benchmark, especially with such a big legacy being mentioned.

The Cagliari connection gives his admiration for Zola a personal angle, even if becoming a Chelsea legend is a huge target.

Wanting to follow Zola's legacy is understandable, but expectations should stay realistic for a 21-year-old arriving for a reported £47 million.
