“Chelsea can are available in, offer him 3 times as much as we are able to pay him and pay Shakhtar that form of money for somebody who hasn’t played 50 games yet, eight international caps. It’s one in all those situations, for the boy’s sake, I hope he comes and fulfils the potential people see he has,” he added.
“From a Chelsea standpoint, they’ve bought one other player that they’re going to place amongst their roster that they’re just attempting to fit into whatever they’re doing, I hope it really works out for his sake. For Arsenal’s standpoint, we’re moving on now.
“You recognize what it’s like with people around him, he was earning £3,000, £4,000-a-week before [at Shakhtar], he was taking a large leap to £50,000-a-week [with Arsenal], allegedly, after which Chelsea are giving him 3 times as much. You’re talking a few club goes to sell him because they need the cash, the management team around him need to receives a commission. A seven-year deal, nobody turns that down.”
