This is giving me Serge Gnabry flashbacks. My unlikely hope is that we can cut down Jesus’ minutes and loan/sell/assuage Nketiah if Balogun is able to maintain the energy he showed last night for a full season.

But really, he probably needs to go, for his sake and ours - if he’s going to be unhappy with a Nketiah+ role in the first team. Continuing to speak publicly like this probably takes 40m+ off the table, so hopefully Edu and Arteta talk to him very soon about the plan so he can get his minutes and we can get our money.

His wages are almost as bad as the fee demands. 250k p/w for a rehabilitation project would be ridiculous. Seems like there would need to be major concessions from both Chelsea and Havertz for this to be a possibility.
