But I don\u2019t know why they didn\u2019t stick with him. Obviously there was a falling out there with Amorim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, he\u2019s a talent and I think he\u2019s going to do well in the Chelsea set up. So I think Chelsea have stolen one again. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see him move on for \u00a370m\/\u00a380m at the end of next season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChelsea will be able to sell him on, having used him well this season, or next season as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I expect that to be good business for Chelsea and they\u2019ve had a fantastic window in terms of finances as well.
