Is chelsea a nigerian team? Someone get rid of obi mikel a recruiter or technical director, this is ridiculous. One victor to another
This is interesting.
Boni will be good value. Besides, the pace of the premier league will help to keep him in shape.
Surprised they didn’t follow thru on Osimhen though. Osimhen”s style fits Chelsea to a tee!
