PUNDIT CAN’T BELIEVE CHELSEA DIDN’T PAY £73M FOR ‘QUALITY’ 22-YEAR-OLD
Philippe Albert believes Chelsea should have bought Amadou Onana from Sean Dyche’s Everton during the summer transfer window.
According to the former Belgium international defender, Chelsea should have paid the €85 million (£73 million) required to sign Everton defensive midfielder Amadou Onana.
Chelsea has been informed of a transfer blunder involving Everton player Amadou Onana.
Albert has stated that the 22-year-old is an excellent player.
The Belgian international defensive midfielder is still at Everton, according to the commentator.
During the summer transfer window, Onana was linked with a move away from Everton.
Arsenal, Manchester United, and West Ham United have all been linked with a move for the 22-year-old.
Chelsea had Onana as a potential back-up to Moises Caicedo, according to the London Evening Standard in August 2023.Caicedo, an Ecuador international midfielder, was signed by the Blues from Premier League rivals Brighton & Hove Albion.”Physically Amadaou is a monster, and technically he also has quality,” Albert stated, as translated by SportWitness.
“I’m surprised no one paid his €85 million clause.”
|When I see how readily Chelsea spends money on anything and everything, I find it very weird that they don’t pay less than €100 million for a player like Onana.”
Chelsea didn’t require Amadou Onana.
We don’t believe Chelsea needed to sign Everton’s Amadou Onana during the summer transfer window.
The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners have signed Romeo Lavia in addition to Moises Caicedo.
Enzo Fernandez was already on the Blues’ roster.
While Chelsea has been bringing in the best available young players for some time, they did not need to spend a lot of money to bring in Onana and then not be able to start him on a regular basis.
Onana has made 37 Premier League outings in his career.
In those games, the 22-year-old defensive midfielder has one goal and two assists.
