Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez reveals he had to take medicines and injections to play.
According to David Ornstein of The Athletic (subscription required) (h/t Football.London), Chelsea have learned the price required to sign USMNT and Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah.
Since the World Cup started, the Blues have been linked with a move to sign the midfielder, who was part of the USA squad that reached the knock-out stages of the tournament before bowing out to the Netherlands.
It was previously reported that the 20-year-old, who has a contract with Valencia until the summer of 2026 (Transfermarkt), has a release clause of £86m in his contract.
But, due to the Spanish side’s current financial situation, which is not good, they are open to offers north of €20m to let the midfielder leave.
Musah played for the England U-19s before deciding to play for the US men’s senior team. He is a former Arsenal youth player who joined the Valencia B team in 2019 and played his first senior game in 2020.
The 20-year-old is a central midfielder by trade but he can operate in different positions across the centre of the field. He has also played as a winger and a fullback during his career so far.
In the first half of this season, he played 11 league games for Valencia, most of it coming as a central midfielder. He played in the same position for the USA in Qatar.
With regard to his attributes, Musah is a dynamic player who is good at quick coverage of the ground with and without the ball. He is a decent passer of the ball and likes to take his man on, even in tight spaces. His work rate is good without possession.
Considering the price he is available for now, we should do everything to sign the 20-year-old. He is young yet experienced and can bring something different to our midfield department.
