The deal, which seemed to be a tug-of-war among England’s top clubs, was ultimately hijacked by Manchester City. Despite strong interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, McAidoo has decided to prioritize a move to the Etihad Stadium.

McAidoo, known for his versatility and ability to play in various attacking positions, was highly valued by Chelsea.

The Blues made collective efforts to retain the prodigious teenager at Stamford Bridge, but their attempts were ultimately unsuccessful.
