This is exactly what Mr Bayo was saying in that kane video
The Premier League swallows talent. It doesn't grow it. It swallows it.
Look at Manuel Lanzini.
At River Plate, Lanzini was "The Jewel." 10 goals, 10 assists, pure magic. West Ham bought him and for 3 years he was one of the most beautiful players in England. That goal against Spurs? That touch against Chelsea? La Joya.
Then the Premier League happened. Injuries. 12km every game. Defend. Press. Tackle. Second season, he has to be a workhorse. Third season, he is on the bench. At 30, he is back at River Plate. The Premier League used his best years and spat him out.
Same story everywhere. Felipe Anderson. Sebastien Haller. Gianluca Scamacca. Pablo Fornals. All jewels when they came. All swallowed.
Now Gabriel Jesus started for Barca yesterday.
Jesus left Man City because he wanted to be a 9, not a winger who presses. He went to Arsenal, started flying, then again - the Premier League turned him into a pressing machine. Running, fighting, injured, fighting.
At Barca or in La Liga, Jesus would be what he was at Palmeiras -
That's why that Bundesliga and La Liga point is true. If you are a young technical player - winger, 10, striker - don't start in England. Go to Spain, go to Germany, go to Italy. Be free. Score. Learn.
Then come to the Premier League at 27, 28 when you are already a monster and they can't swallow you.
Lanzini went too early. Jesus went too early. The league took their shine.
La Liga doesn't swallow. It polishes.

Euphoria has to be one of my favourite spots in Lagos. The ambience is amazing, the music is on point, and their N30K menu gets you this bomb pasta with a free drink
