Cuadrado was sent to Juventus to rediscover confidence - Chelsea director Emenalo

Juan Cuadrado joined Chelsea from Fiorentina in January but has already been loaned out.

The Colombian winger failed to impress for the Blues after arriving in a £23.3million deal in the winter and was subsequently loaned to Juventus this past summer.

Chelsea technical director Michel Emenalo admits Cuadrado's confidence dipped during his time at Stamford Bridge and has been sent to the Serie A champions in a bid to get him back to the form that won him his move to West London in the first place.

"Sometimes the timing is not right for them," he told Chelsea TV.

"For example, we got Cuadrado straight after a very difficult game at Spurs and we had to change our strategy for the rest of the season. That didn't suit the reason for which we had already gone to get him.

"So we felt it would be better for him to go and rediscover his confidence and he hasn't just gone to any other team... he's gone to Juventus.

"These players go to top clubs and when they get there, they prove we don't recruit bad players, just like (Mohamed) Salah did last season."
