No be every day wey you go hear say Real Madrid dey eye Premier League players wey never even blow finish. But this one different — and e sweet somehow.
According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid next coach (wey everybody believe na Xabi Alonso) don dey watch two small-small midfielders wey dey shine for England: Kobbie Mainoo from Manchester United and Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace.
Real Madrid wey dey carry Modrić, Kroos, Zidane? Now dem dey check Mainoo and Wharton? Omo, e clear say Alonso no dey look face.
Make we break am down small.
Mainoo: Calm Guy for Man United Wahala
Kobbie Mainoo na one of the few good things wey don happen to United this season. As other players dey scatter anyhow, this small boy just dey play with calm mind. No dey rush, no dey panic — e sabi wetin to do.
E don play big games. Start for FA Cup final. E no even shake. And people dey talk say when Mainoo dey pitch, United dey play better. E no dey score every time, but e dey make everything balance.
For a team like Madrid wey dey look for person wey go take over from Kroos and Modrić, Mainoo fit be the perfect guy. E no dey shout, but e sabi ball.
Wharton: Quiet But Deadly
Now make we yarn about Adam Wharton.
Crystal Palace just carry am from Blackburn early this year, but e don show say e belong for Premier League. People even dey compare am to Declan Rice, but say this one pass better ball.
E sabi position, e sabi pass, and e sabi when to press or hold play. No be flashy player, but if you watch full 90 minutes, you go sabi why people dey hype am.
For just 20 years, the guy don move from Championship to Premier League baller. Now Madrid dey eye am? Na big upgrade be that.
Xabi Alonso Eye Dey Sharp
If na another coach wey dey link with this matter, people for talk say na normal transfer rumor. But when na Xabi Alonso, e get weight.
Xabi na midfield general when e dey play. Now wey e dey coach Bayer Leverkusen, e dey build midfield like architect. All the players wey dey under am sabi ball wella.
So if e dey eye Mainoo and Wharton, no be say he dey chase hype. Na say he dey plan well. E want midfielders wey dey use brain and sabi set tempo.
This move make sense.
United or Palace Go Gree Sell?
Mainoo for United? Omo, forget. Dem no go wan sell am. Na academy golden boy. If Madrid even try, United fans fit burn Old Trafford.
Wharton for Palace? E fit happen. Palace dey sell if money make sense. If Madrid bring better offer and Wharton still dey perform, who know?
But the koko no be whether dem go buy now — na say Madrid don dey notice dem. That one loud already.
Last Last: If Xabi Call Your Name, You Don Blow
If Xabi Alonso talk say e want you for midfield, just know say you dey do something right.
Mainoo and Wharton still young, but their name don enter big level. Whether Madrid buy dem now or later, people don dey watch.
And if Madrid don put eye for your body? E mean say your level don change.
