"It’s madness.

"Liverpool go bid, bid, bid, then Chelsea go, ‘nah, man is stepping in. This is my player now'," said Antonio. "They got him because Caicedo is a massive Chelsea fan.

"Then, the Southampton midfielder, Romeo Lavia, again, Liverpool (put down) £60m accepted. Now, I am hearing that Lavia wants to go Chelsea as well. I am like ‘what!?’. They are moving mad."
