£58M midfielder told Prem move should have made ahead of big Chelsea season!
Theo Walcott believes former Southampton team-mate Romeo Lavia should have joined Liverpool instead of Chelsea, as the midfielder has struggled to make any impact at Stamford Bridge since his move to the Blues.
It is almost a year to the day since Lavia completed a £58m move to Stamford Bridge, joining the Blues from relegated Southampton, as the the 20-year-old put pen to paper on a staggering seven-year contract but.
Lavia will hope to revive his CHELSEA career this season, having featured in pre-season, though Walcott remains concerned for his ex team-mate and claimed that a move to Liverpool should have been the one the star made.
‘He’s a very talented footballer,’ Walcott said on BBC Radio 5 Live. ‘He trained his heart out, probably trained too much. He had a serious injury and obviously missed a whole year.
‘There were talks of him going to Chelsea or Liverpool, and I thought, right, as a player, this is perfect.
‘Liverpool would be the perfect club for right now because the midfield was rebuilding at that particular time. Players can, of course, make their choice, but as a career path, he’s stagnated a little bit.
‘The new manager [Maresca] has come in, he’s brought in Dewsbury-Hall, you’ve got Conor Gallagher – similar players to some extent.
‘With the number of players they are signing, good players just won’t get a chance. They just won’t be seen at Chelsea.
‘They’ll be sent out on loan to lower league clubs and not appear. I am worried Romeo Lavia will just be one of those Chelsea players that will just be gone, and you won’t hear much about.’

The move to Chelsea, or any big club, came far too early for the young man and now we are seeing that he is really struggling to make an impact. He is at CHELSEA, so it doesnt really matter that he should have signed for Liverpool is it?
