Amadou Onana sent a 5-word response to the 27-year-old player after deciding to leave Everton
Amadou Onana sent Neal Maupay a five-word text message.
The midfielder praised Maupay via his Instagram, days after the Frenchman’s loan move to Brentford was confirmed.
Maupay will be desperate to get his career back on track after joining the Bees for the remainder of the season.
The striker joined Everton from Brighton last summer in a £15m deal, but he has failed to impress in a spell that has seen him score just once in 32 appearances in all competitions.
.Maupay didn’t exactly set the world on fire at Brighton either, but his best form came in the previous two years at Brentford, where he scored 37 league goals.
The 27-year-old has now joined London club Onana.
showed support for the striker after posting a video of him training during the international break.
This midfielder wrote:
“Naahhh t’es Sharp mon frerooot,” which means “Naahhh you’re sharp, bro” – accompanied by a heart-eye emoji.
Maupay joins Brentford to replace Ivan Toney, who is currently out of action due to an eight-month ban for betting violations.
The England international will not return to competitive football until January, leaving Maupay with a lot of pressure on his shoulders.
The striker’s departure paves the way for Portuguese duo Beto and Youssef Chermiti to impress, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains sidelined through injury.
Will we see Neal Maupay again at Everton?
Everton’s decision to loan Neal Maupay is very strange, as it really makes no difference to them whether he succeeds at Brentford or not.
Even if he finds his feet again, the Frenchman’s contract expires at the end of the season and the likelihood of the Toffees choosing to extend is highly unlikely.
Maupay looks set to leave the club on a free transfer next summer and I can only assume that no one wants to pay a penny for him at the moment to make this move understandable.
