Spent the last few years in France so I have seen him play quite a bit and I think 12 million would be giving the word "steal" a whole new definition. Fantastic player. Instrumental in Starsbourg's success since getting into the top flight a couple of years ago. People have been talking about him more this season but he was brilliant in 17-18 as well, racked up a ton of assists. Very much a modern full back who loves to get forward, but he's genuinely solid defensively too. Plenty of Ligue 1 fans have even said he deserves a call-up with the national side (that won't happen with Deschamps in the hot seat, but it's still testament to how good he's been). Plus, Strasbourg play quite a nice, attacking style of football too so I think he'd be well-suited to our system. As a back-up for Walker, he'd be absolutely ideal and would really keep Kyle on his toes too. AWB would obviously be better for the future but I'd be happy if this one came off.
