He also added “There were things that maybe Declan wasn’t as good at but I think he’s improved. He hasn’t really surprised me but I do laugh because a couple of years ago people were saying, you’ll never get £100m for Declan. I was saying, no, we’ll get £150m for him.“
“I was telling West Ham to hold out for £150m and people were saying I was off my head. But I think if you look at some of the players who have come around that price, Dec’s surpassed them and looks above them. I think £100m is looking quite cheap to be honest.
