Lavia has endured an extremely difficult first season at Chelsea following his big-money summer move from Southampton. The midfielder arrived in a deal worth £53 million ($67m) but has only made one substitute appearance for his new club due to a succession of injuries. He was ruled out for the season back in March after suffering a setback in his recovery from a thigh injury sustained in December.
