Hughes kickstarted the discussion by outlining how the French left-back has been held back by his boss’ defensive tactics but, despite poor showings lately, remains an exciting option for Chelsea.
“Digne feels like he’s being shackled somewhat,” he said. “He’s a very offensive full-back, which most are in the modern game, but Benitez is insisting he does a lot more defensive work.
“He hasn’t registered an assist all season and no goals either and I think that’s all down to the tactics as opposed to his performances, so that’s something that I want to point out to Chelsea fans.

Hughes added by comparing Digne, who’s worth £31.5 million as per Transfermarkt, to Chilwell before alluding to Everton’s growing financial concerns that could play into Roman Abramovich’s hands.
