Alvin Ayman with a financial boost for his boyhood club
However, now with a £1.5 million move to Liverpool is appearing, Braford city could be benefitted from the deal and can leave with a good amount. The Telegraph reported that the amount Liverpool will pay for the youngster, a huge portion of it can go towards Bradford city. This is purely because of a sell on clause that was included in the deal by Bradford when the youngster joined Wolves.
As of now, no bids have been received by Wolves but Bradford city are closely monitoring the situation and are anticipating a deal which will benefit them. Bradford already has past experience of profiting from their Academy Graduate who have excelled in their individual career. In 2019, Olie McBurnie made Bradford city a profit of £2 million when he joined Sheffield United.
Bradford City’s youth academy
Not just with Alvin but Bradford city has such similar sell on clause on many of their academy graduates. Other youth academy graduates include- Victory Musa at Manchester united, Sahil Bashir at Brighton, and Alfie Bradshaw at Nottingham Forest. Bradford could make huge profits on these players in the future because of a sell on clause they included in their deals to their respective premier league clubs.
Wolves highly rate the young defender. Alvin was also a part of the travelling squad when Wolves went to Etihad stadium to play against Manchester City. Even though he wasn’t on the bench, getting included in the travelling squad is a big thing at this age.
Alvin’s special trait is his positional versatility. He can fluidly play in the defensive position and also can execute the roles of a midfielder if asked to play in the center. Furthermore, his playstyle of playing in the left side of the defensive mid pairing makes him even more ideal for Liverpool.
The huge amount of interest in the academy players just highlights the quality of Bradford’s academy. They have the environment needed for a player to grow and with a proper management and a luck in some talented teenagers, Bradford could help themselves greatly. It can be either succeeding on the pitch or making huge amount profit on those youngsters.
A struggle to get promoted for Bradford
Bradford city have been struggling in the league Two for five years now. Every season, it is the same story for the fans and the team. Last season also they finished 9th in the league with 69 points. They need some quality investments in the team to help them get promoted. In these cases, deals like Alvin Ayman to Liverpool is something which can help them greatly. Even a profit of £1 million can make a huge difference in League Two.
If the deal goes through, then Bradford City needs to utilize the budget properly and invest in the team which can help them get promoted to the next division.
