A real shame this one and a total surprise on where the lad has ended up. A real talent and one of best in his age group across Europe. For Chelsea to offer him a six year deal says it all.
However, approx £15-20m for an 18 year old with only a couple of appearances is not too shabby at all. Will also look good on a FFP perspective, as this is total profit on our balance sheet.
Take Grealish away and we haven’t made a profit on many players over the last ten years. It also shows that all the hard work with our academy is bearing fruit again. Onwards and upwards.
