Agreed. First things first, he needs to get himself a helluva lot fitter.
He’s very good on the ball, and comfortable taking the ball off defenders. Nobody else in the Leicester team could do that part well. Mendy, Soumare and surprisingly Ndidi were shocking at it all season.
He isn’t my first choice for that position but IF he gets himself fit, and back in form, we’ve effectively signed a 40-50m player for nothing.
If we’re going to want to try and sign the Joao Felix’s, Nico Williams of this world, unfortunately we’re going to have to mix that in with some astute signings on free transfers (Asensio being another).
Personally, I’m a little indifferent on this one. I’ll see how it pans out as he has been poor the last 12 months on the whole. He was a cracking player before that though - who knows what’s gone wrong.
