‘Welcome to CHELSEA, Yisa!’
IcFootballnews Says…
Chelsea beat off alot of clubs to get the young man signed up, he will be joining one of the biggest clubs in world football. But he needs to be careful about this transfer move as CHELSEA have a habit of buying young stars, loaning them out and then letting the players get lost in the system.
Alao is a talent, but he did not need to make a move at this stage of his career, it is far too early and he needed time to earn his place in that Wednesday side first.
