ADRIAN MUTU

Former Chelsea player Adrian Mutu has been looking back on his career lately and has been making some revelations about his best and worst moments during his time at Stamford Bridge. Mutu was one of those players that were signed by Chelsea that would eventually not go on to fulfill their potentials to the fullest, and he has now admitted that it was a difficult time for him as well. Upon completing his move to join the Blues, a lot of expectations were placed on Mutu to become a shining star at the club because of how very talented he was and how he was able to showcase some of his skills on the pitch.
