Elijah Gift to Bilbao confirmed. Don’t think we’ll be exactly happy to lose him but he was at the bottom of the rotation for wingers at U18 level.
Incredibly quick player though.

Scottish PL has games in July? or friendly
Friendly of course. 
Where is the £1m from Bilbao for Elijah Gift, John?
What does it say?
Unfortunately Space Karen has broken Twitter again, at least for me.
It says Kerron Samuels to Brentford. He was a first year scholar last season but struggled to nail down a place and was overtaken by Luca Furnell-Gill and Lucas Pitt for the U16s.
Technical footballer but looked a bit timid and weak. Hopefully something he can develop as he grows up and puts some muscle on.

I thought this was old news?
We had made an offer but he hadn’t signed yet.

Bayern Leverkusen interested in Luke Chambers on loan with option to buy.
Would be surprised if we are interested in letting them have that option

Make it a mandatory buy and get the price to 5 million minimum and I’d do it

Interesting stuff, a bit random. But I like the kid ever since I saw him, I think a little bit in pre-season 2021 and then especially in 2022.
The U21 age bracket moves to those born after January 2002 - meaning anyone born before that would be an overage player.
With that in mind these are current overage U21s
- Vitezslav Jaros (2001)
- Adam Lewis (1999)
- Anderson Arroyo (1999)
- Matteo Ritaccio (2001)
- Paul Glatzel (2001)
For the sake of completion I’ll add these first teamers too…
- Sepp van den Berg (2001)
- Curtis Jones (2001)
All other players are eligible to play at U21 level this season without being an overage player. My crystal ball says we will try and get permanent moves for Lewis, Arroyo and Ritaccio while probably keeping Glatzel for fitness reasons and sending Jaros on loan again.

Always sad to see promising youngsters leave, but those six players ahead of him all seem very talented - and going to a club like Bilbao is quite special in itself given how few players they can pick from.
