Opinions have been divided amongst Chelsea fans since they signed Alejandro Garnacho, although the winger has insisted people have got him all wrong.
Reports have stated that Chelsea are having second thoughts about Garnacho since bringing him in from Manchester United, even though he was one of their top targets for the transfer window.
The Argentine has just one Premier League goal to his name this season, and has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter in the side.

Alejandro Garnacho says he’s ‘totally different’ to how fans see him
Garnacho has been speaking about how supporters perceive him, and told HBO Max that he is misunderstood as a person.
He said: “Yes, I think the people just see, for example, the player who you are, but then after this, it’s a person there, and I think a lot of people think things about me that maybe they are not like this because they don’t know me or things like this, but I just know my family love me and the people around me, so it’s the most important.

The winger was also asked about what he thinks people do think about him, to which he said that it could include them believing he is arrogant.
He added: “I don’t know, a lot of people today in the world, they can say anything about you, so, but yeah, they think I’m totally different that how I am, and maybe, like, I’m arrogant or not humble or things like this. A lot of people think you are different, and I said, I’m just a normal guy, so. But yeah, the people who I love, they love me, so this is important.”

Garnacho hoping for strong end to the season
Despite a lukewarm reaction from Chelsea fans so far, Garnacho has no regrets over his move to Stamford Bridge, and will feel as if he has a part to play in a huge final seven games of the Premier League season.
He will be hoping his late goal in the FA Cup win over Port Vale has done enough to convince Liam Rosenior that he should be handed the start against Manchester City.
It is the following game he will have a little more interest in though. Chelsea host Garnacho’s former club, Manchester United, just six days after their clash with City.
