Chelsea's £62million summer signing Marc Cucurella is 'not good enough', according to former Blues defender Frank Leboeuf.

The ex-France international, who watched Chelsea's drab 0-0 stalemate against Fulham on Friday night, launched a scathing attack on the Spanish full-back, singling him out as a major weakness in Graham Potter's side.

Blues owner Todd Boehly beat Manchester City to Cucurella's signature last August, penning a six-year deal with the Spaniard, but Leboeuf has since claimed that the summer swoop was a wasted investment.

With Potter's side languishing ninth in the Premier League, 10 points off the top four and 20 points adrift of leaders Arsenal, Chelsea are at serious risk of missing out on European football next season altogether.

Leboeuf is confident the Blues' form will improve once England full-backs Reece James and Ben Chilwell return to full fitness.
