Just the 2 relegations in his 5 years there

A big plus with KWP is his flexibility. He played 7 positions last season according to WhoScored.

Everton and West Ham are in pole position for Club Brugge Midfielder, Raphael Onyedika. West Ham are the most concrete so far. The Belgian side want close to €30M

Feels like he's someone everyone has kind of accepted he's good without actually doing much of anything to prove it

Looks like he was signing for West Ham 3 weeks ago, AC Milan 2 weeks ago, Leeds last week and now his agent is touting him as us being interested?

He has caps for England a couple of years back.
I don't think he's amazing, but I also think he's been playing for a very limited Southampton team (and still got an England call up). I wouldn't hold relegations against him, looking at the players he's playing with.
He can play right and left back to a good standard. He also doesn't have fitness concerns.
I'd put him on par with Tete as an equally sound pick up on a free, and would be happy with either of them.
It's a moot point anyway because he apparently wants to play in London.

Would rather we were in for his team-mate Ardon Jashari!

Michael Keane has caps for England too . But KWP would probably be an ok stop gap.

Everton want to take advantage of the opportunity created by OL's relegation to Ligue 2 to sign Malick Fofana at a reduced price.
Even though Lyon has appealed the decision, the Toffees are moving quickly, aware that the situation could lead to a lower price. Chelsea is also waiting in ambush.

Fofana looks good from what I can see.
Him and Ndiaye in the same team would be exciting.

30mill sounds a lot for someone playing in the Belgian league.

Would prefer Woltemade to Barry tbh. The German lad looks like he's playing against children.

You have to wonder if the last sentence comes from an actual source or if journalists are simply playing the percentages at this point.
