I was paying attention to the also ?Looks like he is coming also
I said ‘looks like…’
Never knowingly seen the lad play, but with 60 Serie A starts and 20+ full international appearances at the age of 22 he has a fair bit of experience for a CB already.
Sounds like he would be a fantastic signing.
As I have mentioned, it is pretty close.
The guy can also play LCB if needed and did so on a few occasions last season.
Good addition I feel.
I really love this kind of signing, moving away from it ties in with our decline. Under Pochettino there were a couple of duds and as a result it seems we gave up on uncovering young talent before they peaked. So many of my favourite players for us have been guys that I’d seen little or none of.
Edit: just watched this video, this guy has cult hero written all over him…
The thought did cross my mind but it’s a mistake that we often make with any defenders who looks comfortable in the ball. I think if we buy him, it has to be for CB or RB in a 4.Looks very good. Strikes me that he might be a very good DM.
