Fitting our recruitment team’s ideal age profile at 22-years-old, the Ligue 1 star would be a tremendous addition to the squad for the future.
With the likes of James Milner and Jordan Henderson plumping up the average age of the midfield, it’s the kind of signing that will more than excite fans, particularly given with the likes of Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones coming through the squad.
The asking price could provide one significant stumbling block, of course, dependent on to what extent Monaco are prepared to charge over £37.7m for the services of their highly-rated midfielder.
Provided that the fee doesn’t extend much beyond the £40-50m range, we’d expect the club to fork out the required amount – if our interest remains.
