Vialli has had a difficult time during his first season at Chelsea. As the partnership between his colleagues Zola and Hughes became more and more dominant, Luca had to be content with a place on the bench. Much speculation was placed upon what Vialli would do at the end of the 96/97 season, but he has decided to stay at Chelsea and seek to become the legend he so dearly wants to be. Vialli is a good finisher and has proved to be a useful asset to Chelsea FC.
