I’m inclined to be mad about this transfer honestly.

How do you move from Lillestrom to Montpellier to Sevilla, an obvious upward trajectory…then VENEZIA😭, a newly-promoted side in Italy.

Well, Venezia is a structured club with Drake as an investor, yes, Drake.

I would have… https://t.co/emeTOq4YIX

Does he need to go there? With all due respect to Venezia, he’s so much better than them and should be aiming for bigger clubs. https://t.co/t98QaAiuhC

Drake has an investment in Venezia and they announced a minority investment of €100m in May.

The new investment raised by Venezia Football Club Operating Committee (OpCo) is also going to help improve their finances and ambitions, and it seems their ambitions are big.

He knows more than us.

This team is most likely going to spend the next season in relegation battle. https://t.co/scrydrJcbK

One thing about Nigerian players is that their agents rarely secure the right moves.

What kind of downgrade is this?

He moved from a club already in the laliga to a newly promoted Serie A side?

Who is his agent please?😂😂😂 https://t.co/hRZXWcKr8W
