Love the look of Soumaré but don't think he's what we actually need right now - Florentino Luis is what we actually need - Someone who will provide protection to the back 4 and get stuck into tackles with precision timing and excellent reading of the game. Soumaré seems to be more of a technical version of Sissoko - a dribbler who can transition the play, quickly. What we actually need is a Kanté and a tackler who reads the game and breaks up play - We can make do with Sissoko for the moment for quick transitions up the pitch. It's Wanyama we need to replace.
That said, Soumaré is an outstanding talent and if he's available perhaps we should be in for him regardless - and especially given our connections with Sacramento.
Send that to our scouts. I suspect they’ve never heard of him if their recent work is anything to go by.

Because he’s not that good.I would like to suggest Sander Berge from Genk as a similar interesting possibility (like Soumaré and Florentino). But haven't seen any rumors linking him to Spurs

Indeed, I'm surprised he wasn't snapped up by the bigger leagues already in the summer. Perhaps Genk have priced him prohibitively high (I'm only speculating)I’d take Berge in a heartbeat. Six foot five, good positional awareness, strong, very quick, decent passer. Imagine a bigger Sissoko, who can screen a defence, make a good pass, tackle and cover ground very quickly
So, definitely not that good...Apparently West Ham interested
I would love us to go for Soumare and Edvardo Camavinga, who i think will turn out to be the best D?M in the worldLooks like we need both Luis and Soumare.
That's some statementI would love us to go for Soumare and Edvardo Camavinga, who i think will turn out to be the best D?M in the world
While I do agree that it's not ideal, maybe it's the only available option.Sky now saying we're exploring midfield loans. Way to kick the can down the road, Tottenham. The suggestion we'll get 4-5 big transfers done in the summer is laughable.
No point wasting money on a loan when we could get somebody in now who by the time they've acclimatised to the league will still be our player.
