Axel Witsel

[Atholy 1,293]

Here is a video I particularly like about both Chelsea's prospects Eden Hazard & Axel Witsel (a player where probably a lot of you guys are not yet familiar with). Here in the game against the USA a few months ago.

The video shows you how talented both players are + how attractive the whole belgian national squad is playing these days...

Unfortunately often still lacking result (which made we are not at the EC in Poland & Ukraine). You can see us dominating the whole game... but only scoring once !

Enjoy!

The belgian national team could be very strong in a few years, there are tons of talented young players in their squad.

[Atholy 1,293]

Reliable belgium news sources are reporting AC Milan are in pole position to attract Witsel!

Witsel has a buy off on his head of €40 million but AC Milan is negotiating about a €5 million offer with the switch of LB defender Taiwo (former Marseille player) to Benfica as part of the deal.

Keep you updated!

Witsel is a good and talented player, but for me still not ready to move to a big club. 1 more season or perhaps 2 and he should be ready though.

100% Agree at the moment he is just slightly more then average with potential but thats all.

He probably moves to ac milan. They are working on a transfer

Rumours now say that City has a lot of interest, they say that Kompany allready called Witsel to tell him to join them..

[Hamilton 2,120]

From what I've heard the lad has massive potential. I haven't seen much of him however. Would he suit here? What type of midfielder is he (which midfielder in our squad does he most closely resemble)?

[mediator 2,026]

I'm belgian and i know him very well, he's got a pure presence into the midfield as Roy Keane did.

This could be THE real superstar of chelsea. The hard work? for him no doubt.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Isn't he more of a combative CM? We need a deep lying playmaker.

So he's an Essien/Mikel type player?

His size and presence looks very similar to Fellaini.

[mediator 2,026]

It's a kind of yaya-touré.

He creates by destroying like Essien or Makélélé. The problems with all this FIFA terminology is that some players can fit the descripctions like a glove whilst others are a hybrid of different positions.
