Looking at that video(I know it's just a few mins long so could be wrong) I would say he would play CM instead of Sissoko just now as looks like a box to box player also. Still need a DM to play next to him and if/when ndombele is fit.

Nice clips in that vid. Looks to have good feet and an eye for a pass. A bit worrying that the Benfica fans on here don't seem to rate him though.

never seen him play but the fact that adel taarabt starts over him as a central midfielder doesn't fill me with a lot of hope.

Did a little research... he was a full time starter for them in 18/19 then they got a new coach, he changed the system from a 4-3-3 where Gedson started as a b2b player, to a 4-2-3-1 and basically stopped playing Gedson altogether.

Now the weird thing is we don't play a 4-3-3 either. But as a loan/Sissoko replacement this transfer seems good in a vacuum, with our other issues and thinking Winks could play a similar role I don't really get it as much.

Can't say I know anything about the kid other than his numbers won't make him a Fantrax favourite. But, he's young so I'm interested in seeing what Jose can do with him.

This is how it's gonna end: Gedson ready for West Ham. Spurs never interested in the player
