Football London sources quoted by Express reveal the reason for helping Chelsea overturn Liverpool in Romeo Lavia case.

Liverpool is about to take another bitter fruit before Chelsea in the transfer market. After reaching a £60m transfer fee agreement with Southampton, The Kop could not convince Romeo Lavia, who expressed his desire to move to Stamford Bridge. Lavia is the second player to refuse Liverpool to choose Chelsea after the case of Moises Caicedo.

To win Lavia’s trust, Chelsea must rely on the support of an old man, Eden Hazard. According to Express, in December last year, Lavia spoke with the Blues legend about the time when the former Real Madrid star was at Stamford Bridge.

The source shared that Hazard actively encouraged his fellow juniors to take the opportunity to join the west London team. With Lavia about to move to Chelsea, Hazard’s sharing has helped the old club make a spectacular deal.

In addition, Football London also confirmed the importance of Chelsea’s director of human resources recruitment, Joe Shields. Shields was a key player in negotiations with Lavia’s representatives.

Shields, who was once top recruiting on the south coast, has established a close relationship with the youngster at Southampton. That makes it easy for Chelsea to please Lavia.
