This transfer window hot like Lagos traffic wey hold for Third Mainland Bridge. Clubs dey move anyhow, dey try sign players wey go ginger dem before season start. But Everton, dem dey play smart. Dem eye one big fish wey dey Juventus—Douglas Luiz, and dem plan to move for am last last before window close. Why dem dey wait? Make I gist you.
Who Be Douglas Luiz?
Douglas Luiz na one correct Brazilian baller. If you dey follow Premier League before, you go sabi say e play for Aston Villa, and e ball wella. Midfielder wey sabi control game, win tackle, and even score thunder goal sometimes.
Last season, Juventus carry am go Italy with plenty money, but e never really settle there. Some people dey talk say the wahala na tactics, some say e no just dey happy. Na wetin make many clubs, including Everton, dey look am again.
Why Everton Want Am?
Everton don dey find better midfielder since last season. Their midfield be like akara without pepper—soft but no flavour. Dem need person wey go bring fire, grit and football sense. And Douglas Luiz fit be that missing link.
He get Premier League experience, e sabi press, e no dey fear tackle, and e fit shoot from outside box. If Everton fit get am, dem midfield go balance like rice and stew.
But Why Dem Wan Wait Till Window Almost Close?
Good question. Everton no be club wey dey throw money anyhow. Dem dey calculate. Juventus want sell Luiz for around €30m–€35m, and dem no too like loan without commitment. But Everton dey hope say if dem wait small, Juventus go reason loan with option to buy, or reduce price small.
Another reason be say other clubs like West Ham, Manchester United, even small links to Liverpool dey fly around. But na Luiz dey hold the key. He never gree anybody yet. So Everton dey wait make everybody wey wan rush tire, then dem go enter with one sharp offer.
Na street smartness be that.
Luiz Fit Gree Join Everton?
That one na fifty-fifty. Reports dey talk say Douglas Luiz still wan play Premier League, and e no mind Everton, but e dey watch who still go enter market last minute. Maybe e dey hope say bigger club go come, or say Juventus go change mind.
But Everton no dey panic. Dem just dey ground dey observe. If dem throw offer last minute, and Juventus dey desperate, everybody go collect handshake and move on.
Risk Dey Inside?
Of course! If dem wait too long, another club fit rush come carry am. Or Juventus fit no gree loan at all. Na gamble.
But if e work, Everton go score big-time. Luiz fit be the type of player wey go help dem avoid relegation fight, and maybe push for top 10. Plus, fans go happy say club dey make smart moves.
Final Tori
This Douglas Luiz matter fit turn to one of those “deadline day wahala” wey dey make Sky Sports people shout upandan. Everton dey play quiet, dey set trap. Juventus dey hold tight, but if dem no get better offer soon, dem fit gree sell am cheap or loan am out.
Luiz sef dey yan say he wan ball again for England, so eyes dey. This transfer go sweet if e click. But for now, make we just dey look. Transfer window dey like Nollywood movie—you no go know how e go end till the last scene.
