Charlotte, United States – E don finally happen! Chelsea don strike deal wey go make dem pay £60 million to Brighton for Brazilian forward, João Pedro. E dey come as Chelsea bombay dem transfer window wey don dey fly since this season start, and dem dey ready to welcome dis paddy.
João, wey just 23 years, go sign seven-year contract wey fit make am play for Club World Cup dis weekend. E never even land before dem dey talk say he fit play against Palmeiras on Friday. No be small wahala! (If only people for Naija fit dey enter plane like dat).
Brighton fit no like am o, as dem reject two previous bids from Newcastle before Chelsea come flex dem muscle with £55 million plus extra £5 million for add-ons. Talk say Chelsea dey gather arsenal of players as dem just finish another deal to bring Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund for £55 million last Saturday. E be like say Chelsea wan make all di strikers dem sabi finish ball for pitch!
João Pedro don show say e sabi ball well, as e don score 30 goals and provide 10 assists in 70 matches for Brighton since e join dem from Watford back for £30 million in 2023. But no be every time dem go fit kuku carry am; Brighton manager, Fabian Hurzeler, no carry am for final match against Tottenham, but naija no dey slack!
Na so di supporters of odas dem dey talk say, ‘Not another Chelsea transfer!’ but make we no lie, if you fit manage all dis talent, wetin dem dey fear? Chelsea just dey throw cash like say na candy for dis transfer window, wey dem don already spend about £170 million on young players.
Dem no go stop o! Di latest move fit shake things for Chelsea, especially with Christopher Nkunku dey face tight competition now. Gittens go step in where Jadon Sancho don come back to Manchester United, and if you check am well, Chelsea don stack di forward line well. Na wetin dem mean by ‘abundance of options’?
As dem dey line up all dis fresh faces, dem need to also prepare for dem player sales wey go follow. Joao Felix and Raheem Sterling dey on di chopping block, and dem dey plan how to handle di sales wey fit affect dem if dem no careful. Whoever fit collect these boys go sure chop well.
Brighton, meanwhile, go still dey manage dem own; dem sabi say João Pedro bring better experience from Premier League, and na dem dey regret say dem lose another player wey dem don groom. This one fit make am different for Chelsea as dey prepare for di new season wey dey come.
As e be now, Chelsea just dey enjoy di sweet aroma of new signings, but players like João Pedro go fit help dem reach new heights. Fans dey hope say dis season no go just be about transfer alone but results on di pitch.
