Basically couldn't ask for a much better LCB for us to sign this summer.

Experienced player who's won loads and played in a team who dominate possession and play a high line. Excellent passer of the ball and would be a calming influence on Romero.

Downsides would be the issues he's had with injuries and the fact he isn't super quick (but he's definitely mobile and quicker than the likes of Lenglet, Davies and Dier). He also reads the game much better than any of our defenders.

The only other LCB's we could sign who would come close to his quality would probably be Gvardiol or Schlotterbeck.

I’d quite like to know why he’s been injured so much.

Didn’t he have attitude issues with not playing a season or so ago too?

Quality player though.

Quite a few niggly injuries. His game time will need to be managed. Explains the interest in Ndicka as well.

Last thing we need is another sick note though isn’t it. Especially when our medical team get their hands on him!

This list doesnt scream sicknote player though. Major injury is 11 games out in recent seasons.
He's been mostly not playing due to Akanji Stones Ake all playing very well.

Would be a perfect signing for that LCB position, makes so much sense. So on that basis it won’t happen

Would be a superb signing and together with Ndicka as an alternative/development player would be both short and long term planning

As a result I don't believe a word of it

Has it been said why he's leaving city?

Would be some signing though.

Dang. Would be a hell of an upgrade at a position we've needed to sort for years
