Sheffield, England – E be like say dem don finally vex for Chelsea! Alex Matos, di young midfielder wey join Chelsea as im dey enter 19 years old, don officially packim bags go Sheffield United on permanent transfer. Na wetin we call ‘ran go’ o!
Matos don spend two years for Stamford Bridge, and dem get high expectation for am when im come in from Norwich City. But na only two times him don fit show face for di main Chelsea squad, before dem send am go loan for Huddersfield Town – you sabi say dat one na proper trial by fire, abi?
For di second half of di 2023-24 season, Matos don go score one goal as him dey chase ball for Huddersfield. Him don even try him luck again on loan for Oxford United, where im play 21 matches. Na new level dis, no be small.
Sheffield United sign am on three-year deal and e go fit kick off di season with dem as dem still dey look for beta form. As e dey so, dem don lose all di five matches wey dem don play, so Matos need to shine well well if dem wan turn di table.
He talk say, ‘When I hear say dem dey interested in me, e no be brain work at all. Dis na di right time for me to move on and dey play regular football. I dey very happy to be here!’ (E no too dey get regular playing time for Chelsea and na for dis kind talk wey we dey feel say im ready).
As football don carry am waka go, we dey wish am beta luck for im new journey. E be like say dis new chapter go sweet am pass di previous one wey him don write for Chelsea. One thing we sabi be say, if dem lose all dem games wey dem don play, den Matos go need adjust his game sharp sharp!
So make we dey watch out to see wetin go happen next. Hope sey Sheffield United go fit turn tins around with Alex Matos for di midfield. Cheers to new beginnings, my padi!
