Revealed : Chelsea Were 'Too Slow' During Negotiations To Sign Isaac Success
Published: April 23, 2017
Premier League pacesetters Chelsea were too slow in their attempt to sign Nigeria international Isaac Success before his move to Granada.
BJ Foundation supremo Douglas Idahosa has revealed that Chelsea's Board needed to approve the transfer of his pupil after they were contacted by Technical Director Michael Emenalo.
''Chelsea were interested in signing Success, they said the Board first have to hold a meeting to approve the transfer. They wanted to pay 1.2 million pounds, that range,'' said Douglas Idahosa to allnigeriasoccer.com.
''Michael Emenalo contacted our agent and a four-year deal was offered. They were slow, they were asking us to hold on and we couldn't wait.
''Granada were faster and we finalized everything with them within three days.''
Success joined Watford on a five-year deal last summer after spending two and a half years in Spain, and the Blues would have paid ten times their initial offer if they had reignited their interest in the striker.
