“Keep an eye him” – Theo Walcott says Chelsea have a “very good” player who’s ready to shine for Chelsea
Former England international and Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has explained what Chelsea supporters can expect from teenage summer signing Romeo Lavia.
It was yet another very busy window for Chelsea supporters, who watched a plethora of more new signings come through the door ahead of what will be a very interesting 2023/2024 season.
Walcott told Gary Neville on The Overlap: “He is sharp, good on the ball, very good player, one to keep an eye out for many years, I would say.”
The 19-year-old has received glowing endorsements from Man City boss Pep Guardiola, who said everyone at City has an “incredible” opinion about the teenager.
“I am really impressed with what Romeo has done and is doing,” declared the City boss.
“We had, and we have, an incredible opinion about him. We thought to keep him, but maybe he would not (get) enough minutes like he has in Southampton.”
