Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez concedes being blocked from joining Chelsea last August left him emotional. Alvarez admits the collapsed deal took its toll. He told Dutch outlet De Telegraaf:
"I grieved for one day and then showed that I am a strong person. "Of course, the disappointment lasted for a while, but I believe that everything happens for a reason."
Alvarez has seen Chelsea owner Todd Boehly continue to spend big since, including the British record £107m deal for Enzo Fernandez from Benfica . But he hopes a deal could still materialised in the future:
"Maybe it wasn't the right time yet. "My time will come, 100 per cent. That is in God's and my own hands. "My focus is 100 per cent on Ajax at the moment. "But if something beautiful comes along next summer that is good for Ajax and for me, then I want to seize that opportunity."
