Looks great in that video, not so much a Mangala replacement and a ball playing 8. Might mean we have to move Gana back to the holding role which wouldn't be ideal however maybe needs must at this point.
If the video is anything to go buy though he's a progressive passer who's strong and press resistant which would be a very nice thing to have!

Only 16 hours ago he was scoring for them.
Maybe not as advanced as we think.
Has until Monday anyway so no rush.

I mean, they've officially announced it.
The deal will be done, just a rogue bunch of Brazilians jumping the gun before the admin is done.

Lad has a hell of a serve. Great on clay and hard court, but not yet done it on grass. I’m sold!
