“His quality”: Mauricio Pochettino says he is so enthusiastic to work with the 19-year-old Chelsea player

Mauricio Pochettino has pronounced his joy about Romeo Lavia, who completed his move to Chelsea on Friday.

The blues announced this morning that Romeo Lavia, 19, joined the club from Southampton.

Despite the fact that last season was in the first team football last season, Lavia showed enough during the Premier League relegation of Southampton to earn a controversial transfer.

He has arrived in Stamford Bridge as a combative defensive midfielder who offers even more steel and endurance in the middle of the park.

In a press conference prior to the Premier League match with West Ham, Pochettino responded with enormous joy to the earlier news about the signing of Lavia. It is very interesting to consider the Blues head coach

Pochettino said how Chelsea’s YouTube channel quotes: “I think we all know him, his quality, his profile. He is the perfect player for this project. We are excited and are so happy to add it to the team. “”

With Lavia, we suspect Pochettino to buzz with this group of very young and talented players in Chelsea.

We understand the hesitation of a lack of leadership in the spine of the blues, but they cannot help but be enthusiastic about the rising stars which are signed and to pass.

Lavia showed real quality in the Premier League last year to shine in a combat team. I hope he is now able to fit into a Chelsea squad, play good football and get results.

Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali reportedly negotiated the deal to sell the 18-year-old weeks after being offered a new six-year contract. Hall made 12 appearances last season and his departure means 14 players have departed this summer.

Hall, who can also play in midfield, would initially leave for Crystal Palace on loan. However, that deal fell through and he emerged as a target for Newcastle, who can provide Champions League football. His way into the Chelsea first team was blocked by Ben Chilwell, Marc Cucurella and Ian Maatsen. There will be some turmoil over Chelsea’s decision to sell one of their best academy products. However, the club has to raise funds due to their outrageous spending and the money received for the academy players goes into the accounts as pure financial fair play profit.
