Chelsea set to sign big Belgian star for even bigger money!
Chelsea could be all set to pay a very high price for Genk goalkeeper Mike Penders – according to finance expert Stefan Borson.
Chelsea have been making alot of transfer moves once again this season to sign some of the best talents in the game and Penders is the latest name to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
the young Belgian only made his debut for Genk towards the back end of last season, but he has impressed so much that Chelsea are ready to pay some big money in order to get a deal done, and then offer the lad a massive contract to sign up too.
And While Borson accepts Penders has likely been well-scouted by CHELSEA, he admitted the fee in question seems too high for the teenage goalkeeper: “From the outside, that deal is pretty inexplicable,” Borson told Football Insider.
“But there is no swap deal involved as far as we know. A lot of these deals that are inflated tend to have another element to them, which is the swap deal.
“But there doesn’t seem to be one here, so you have to assume on an arm’s length basis Chelsea believe this player is worth that amount of money and you have to believe that was the best deal they could possibly do.
“We are not scouting him, so you have to assume they have found a very high-quality goalkeeper and, therefore, are getting value for money.
“On the face of every element of the deal, it looks very high.
“But I think like most football fans, nobody has seen the guy play.
“I’m sure he has been well-scouted.
“They certainly have high-quality scouting at CHELSEA, so I think in the absence of a swap deal, you have to assume that’s what they feel the player is worth.”
