Transfer season on the football (soccer for our American readers) market is almost upon us. But one “high-profile” switch may soon take place: Skales to Chelsea.
A little context here: Skales’ career was given new life in April when FC Barcelona’s 17-year-old wonderkid, Lamine Yamal posted a video of himself and his teammates dancing to the singer’s 2015 hit “Shake Body” on TikTok. The video went viral. Soon, the entire squad—and then Spanish radio stations —were vibing to the decade-old track.
“Shake Body” hit its highest daily streams in its decade-old lifespan and Skales got the rare chance to chill with the FC Barcelona squad and perform across Spain. He even released a new song “D.L.L.Y (Dance Like Lamine Yamal)”.
Most recently, Chelsea Women’s FC celebrated their FA Cup win with their own “Shake Body” dance video. With Barcelona knocked out of the UCL, fans are now joking (or maybe manifesting) that Skales’ next stop is Stamford Bridge.
