London, England – Football be like drama sometimes, and this one no be exception! Alejandro Garnacho don finally waka from Manchester United to Chelsea. As the 21-year-old winger finally secures his Premier League transfer after wahala for Old Trafford, we go dey follow am closely for di new season.
Remember say di whole drama begin when di under-pressure Ruben Amorim tell am say him no fit fit into di plans again? As di season end, United performance dey make fans dey vex, and di decision to let go another academy boy don raise eyebrows (dem fit lose their identity oh!).
Alejandro don try hit di ground running for United, but e still never turn di real star wey dem dey expect. Frankly, if hin no pull hin socks, e fit find am hard for hin new home in Chelsea. But one thing we know be say, Chelsea get plenty shirt numbers available. E fit rock dem numbers, or even carry him old number 49 to remind am of better days.
E jara dey, during him time for United, Garnacho don wear plenty number. Him start with que Nos. 75 and 49 before him switch to di No. 17 when him start to shine small small. He don serve di youth teams with Nos. 11, 12, 14, 15, and even 91. Di boy no dey joke oh!
Now, we don dey hear say Chelsea dey ready to give him di No. 18 shirt vacated by Christopher Nkunku as di Frenchman don pack him load go Milan. But, if dem fit make am wear Number 49 backward, dat fit bring back sweet memories when him dey bask for di Theatre of Dreams.
Garnacho don sign long-term contract wey go keep am for Stamford Bridge till 2032. As im talk, “I can’t wait to get started. I watched di Club World Cup and to join di world champions is special – we’re di best team in di world!” Na him dey find di right vibe as di new kid on di block.
As di newest Blue, di report don confirm say Garnacho fit see his debut against Brentford on September 13, depending on how di training and alignment go. If im make am wey no go fit phantasize, di boy go don dey shine like diamond.
For United, dem don miss am small, but di reality be say e don get plenty work to do. Last season, despite di chaos, he manage score six goals from 36 league appearances (no bad for a guy wey dey find him way, abi?). But, e still dey struggle with conversion rate – wey some fans dey classify as wasteful.
And we fit no forget di matter wey arise when he dey put up serious social media post after being benched for di Europa League final – oh my! Na wah! Ruben Amorim, e no dey miss words, bluntly tell di player to find another club if e no like am. So, now we dey see di fruit of dat discontentment.
As Chelsea go dey prepare to throw di new attacker into di mix, di club hope sey dis transfer go make dem better for next season with Garnacho showcasing wetin he fit bring to di table. With di summer signings, Chelsea wan show say dem dey serious! Time go tell how dis new chapter for Alejandro go unfold.
