Why Deji Elerewe left for Lincoln City

Put yourself in Deji Elerewe’s shoes and imagine you’ve been offered the chance to (at the bare minimum) double your wages and move to an organisation that operates at a higher level than your current employer. I suspect you would speak to the prospective employer at the very least, and give strong consideration to leaving in order improve your circumstances. 

Would loyalty feature in your decision? Football, and sports in general, has a funny way of pushing the virtue and value of loyalty. 

Deji’s move to Lincoln City was a no-brainer for him. Whether he went now or waited until the end of the season to go on a free, a departure to a club at a higher level was clearly on the cards for the talented young centre-back.
