I also don’t think Mike at the telegraph would jump the gun tbh, big reputation to up keep he also didn’t quote Sacha at all he’s also pretty good at Chelsea news iirc
One thing I will say is that Sacha says specifically a "5 year deal" so there's clearly more than just an enquiry happened for him to have that specificity.
Tbf i did too until i watched him in the CWC, i assumed he was 5'10 but he was a bit of a unit and uses his frame well.
