Antwerp, Belgium – Big gbege don land for Senne Lammens matter! E no go fit play for Royal Antwerp as dem dey finalize him move to Manchester United, and this one na serious gist, my padi.
As the clock dey tick for Sunday match against Mechelen, the 23-year-old goalkeeper wey dem dey eye like dem dey eye pepper soup, go dey miss field time. Dem wan make am official soon, and e go cost around £17 million. No be small money!
Ruben Amorim, di coach wey dey run things for United, dey look for stronger competition for André Onana. Onana no fit take heart since him pattern dey under fire – coach don even sideline am for week one. Na so we see Altay Bayindir take center stage, but bros fall hand when e let that one goal wey Calafiori score enter. E good to replace goalkeeper, but no be like dis, o!
As dem no wan lose Lammens from their grasp, dem don already bench am. Him replacement, Yannick Thoelen, go step in as the new keeper for di match, while Lammens dey do him own deal with United. Na wetin we call major shakeup for the squad!
Even though Onana don travel go London for Premier League clash against Fulham, hin position still dey shaky. United wan make sure Lammens fit come join them and bring some serious competition as we don see how Onana dey struggle lately.
For those wey no sabi Lammens, e dey stand tall for 6ft 3in, and e don represent Belgium Under-21s. E don already make name for Club Brugge before wey come enter Antwerp in 2023. His first big outing for Antwerp na for Champions League, where dem lose to Porto. Talk about coming back strong!
Dem talk say Lammens fit earn big money like Bayindir wey dey chop around £80,000 weekly. If him carry that kind change come, my guy go fit start correct life for United. Plus, Onana dey face new pressure because e go join Cameroon for di Africa Cup of Nations, so Lammens fit get him chance sharp-sharp!
In retro style, United don dey send players to Antwerp for years, na where we see legends like John O’Shea and Danny Simpson take their first football breath. Now, dem fit just dey recruit fresh talents again. Na wah!
As daylight break for Sunday, we dey watch make we see how this Lammens transfer all go play out. But one thing be sure, things go change rapidly for dis goalkeeper game. Na football, nothing dey permanent!
