I remember a similar hope for Bojinov! I think any player who misses virtually two seasons is not going to be as good when they come back. Personally I think it’s over for him with us or he will be a number two at best. We have to buy a reliable and top quality LB this summer.
To be fair we just need someone who can play LB in our team and that might not be a traditional LB. Zinchenko has done brilliant and he is not a LB. Reliable is the key.
I'd go for Lucas Digne from Everton. I have been saying this for a few years. He was excellent at Roma (on loan from PSG) a few years back and got a move to Barca as a result but was clearly 2nd choice to Alba. Ultimately he chose to move to Everton to get regular game time. Fair play as he was getting a decent amount at Barca and he could of just sat there and waited it out. Bottom line is he is to good for Everton and would fit very well for us as he is a natural left footer and Left Back, technically good and has played at left midfield and center midfield at times.
