His agent thought there wouldn't be much of a path and used the dumb Ansu going on loan rumors as part of the reason he wanted to go.
Seems like he's closer to going to Chelsea, his agent said that they offered him a much better road map to the first team than we did.
Either way, I can't see him getting into any First team squads any time soon unless it's some team that can afford to gamble on really young players like he is.
