Bosun Lawal’s medical issue following his departure from Celtic has been made public by Stoke City sporting director Jon Walters.
The adaptable player, who can play midfield or defense, joined the Potters after leaving the Premier League winners. After a season-long loan at Fleetwood Town, Lawal had played in preseason games under Brendan Rodgers. However, a decision has been taken to move him permanently in a transaction estimated to be worth roughly £3 million.
Although Lawal’s medical didn’t go quite as planned, Walters said in an interview with Stoke Live that they were dedicated to the long-term agreement. Bosun Lawal, who is expected to be a key player for the team and who shares our goals, was said by the speaker.
“I’ll draw attention to Bosun’s signing, who we acquired from Celtic. Although we are happy that we beat out many other major teams to sign him, it was a difficult deal to close. The physical revealed something that neither Celtic nor we were aware of.
While we were a little short on numbers in some spots, other teams might back away from a deal because they want a player to be available right away, but this was a long-term signing for the club of someone who fits our goals. Why would a temporary problem that is easy to fix make us wait longer? He remains the same player as a result.
As a football team, we want to be at the very top. He also has the same goals for himself as a player. Considering that it’s a long-term choice, you don’t want to be distracted by adding one more person.
“You want to open doors for the young players who are emerging and give the squad members who have joined in the last few years the opportunity to grow and improve as coaches.” Rather than saying we need a quick fix in order to get a body in, that’s part of the club. We’re attempting to construct something, namely unity and cohesiveness inside a squad and group. It requires time.
“Having a group of players in the team who are familiar with the coaching staff and who are driven to advance from this league to the Premier League is beneficial.”
