5 Premier League substitutes who should get more game time

Arsenal v Norwich City - Carabao Cup Fourth Round
Back to his best?

3) Davide Zappacosta (Chelsea)

Davide Zappacosta

Chelsea had a testing transfer deadline day but they came away with two signings at the end of it. One was Danny Drinkwater-- proven Premier League performer and champion. The other was Davide Zappacosta, an Italian international defender few in England had heard of and even fewer had seen in action.

But after watching him play, everyone can see the potential that forced Chelsea to shell out 23 million.

The former Torino player is known for his elite crossing skills, glimpses of which he showed in his debut match against Qarabag, where his cross went on to become a worldie goal.

Zappacosta had 5 assists to his name last season in the Serie A for Torino. Only Juventus' Alex Sandro made more accurate cross in the time period between January 2016 and May 2017 than Zappacosta (47).

Victor Moses hasn't been that good this year in that role, which should force Conte to give Davide more game time in the Premier League.
