Nigerian Singer Adekunle Gold Reacts As Chelsea’s Transfer Spending Spree Continues

• Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has suggested that Chelsea are spending way too much so far
• The Londoners have spent heavily on signing multiple players in the summer transfer window
• Manchester United fan Adekunle also claimed the embattled Blues are 'ruining' the market

Nigerian musician, Adekunle Gold, believes that Chelsea have practically ruined the transfer market during the current window.

The Blues' spending spree continues with their latest purchase, Moises Caicedo, arriving from Brighton for a British-record transfer fee of €116million (£100mil), which is likely to reach €133mil (£115mil) via achievable add-ons.

Since Todd Boehly's consortium took over last summer, the London club have spent just over £800mil on new players - around £430mil more than the next-highest spenders, Manchester United.

In the current transfer window, the Stamford Bridge outfit have splashed around £270mil on seven players, which is also more than any other side in Europe.

They are on the verge of breaking the record for the highest summer spend by any club in the world, currently held by Real Madrid after shelling out £292mil in 2019, per the BBC.

Man United fan, Adekunle Gold, took to social media to air his outrage over Chelsea's rampant spending.

“Man! Chelsea ruined the market this season! Where una see money?”

Judging by the comments on his post, many fans were not in agreement and some even suggested Adekunle Gold was allowing his bias as a Red Devils fan affect his opinion.
