“100% sure Enzo Maresca and Chelsea will suffer selling him” – Agbonlahor warns Chelsea on ₤40m Chelsea star
Ian Maatsen, a left-back for Chelsea, is expected to sign with Aston Villa this summer for an estimated ₤37.5 million.
Ian Maatsen, who played the second part of the previous campaign with Borussia Dortmund and flourished there, will now sign a long-term contract to join Aston Villa.
Chelsea will regret this transfer, according to Aston Villa veteran Gabby Agbonlahor.
Ex-Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor responded, “100%,” when asked if Chelsea would regret making the transfer.
“I get why they are letting him go, £35-40million, they’ve already got Marc Cucurella, they’ve got Ben Chilwell, they don’t need another left back.
“But he could end up being better than both. Young age of 22, we’ll bite their hands off.
“He’s a player who’s going to play every week, six-year deal, Aston Villa are going to start doing that as well with youngsters, getting them signed up long term.
“So I think it’s one that Chelsea will regret and one that Aston Villa fans are going to love. He’ll start and then it wouldn’t surprise me if Lucas Digne moves on and Alex Moreno is the back-up left back. So exciting times at Aston Villa.”
