A footballer who defected from Chelsea to one of their fiercest London rivals last summer has spoken up about the circumstances surrounding his decision and the events leading up to it.

Players frequently switch teams to play for opposing teams in the same league or even in the same city.

Despite Osimhen’s departure, Chelsea is reportedly still interested in central defenders; meanwhile, winger speculation is heating up.There have been a number of players that have switched clubs in the past several seasons, with Ashley Cole’s move from Arsenal to Chelsea being the most high-profile example.

It appears that neither Kai Havertz nor Jorginho has looked back since making the move from Chelsea to Arsenal last summer.

But looking back, I can see how both of these choices were the right ones for the situation. There was a sense that Havertz’s time at Chelsea was ended regardless, and Chelsea got a good price for him. Jorginho appears content at Arsenal.

In a statement, HavertzDespite a sluggish start to his Arsenal career, Havertz has had a solid season. However, he has subsequently had a fantastic second half of the season and appears to have established himself as a key striker for Mikel Arteta’s squad.

Havertz stated: “The change from Chelsea to Arsenal was worth it,” as recounted by Fabrizio Romano today.

Since things didn’t start off well, the fans of both Chelsea and Arsenal were upset that I left.

And when your coach, teammates, and loved ones rally behind you, that’s when you know you’re strong.

I didn’t see many irate Chelsea fans; I think most of them were just happy to acquire a decent price for a player whose departure didn’t bother them too much. Perhaps it’s only my perspective, though.
