So a pre contract for next year? Think he has one more year left on his contract. Unless he is being released, which is doubtful
Would love this. Would be an outstanding get for us, and provide both goals and energy in midfieldAs far as I'm aware, we can't sign/agree anything until January but lots of media sources running with this so worth having the thread so it doesn't distract from the discussion thread.

Would he be an upgrade on our starting 11?Agree on this and he looks a very good player but he doesn't score goals from open play really.
Of his 13 league goals last season, 11 were actually penalties (and I doubt he would take pens with us).
In 19/20, he scored 4 league goals, 2 were pens. In 18/19 he scored 7 league goals, 3 were pens.
So in open play (at least so far) he's no more of a goal threat than Hojbjerg or Ndombele really.

And therein lies the peril of just looking up his Wikipedia stats ?Agree on this and he looks a very good player but he doesn't score goals from open play really.

This is why Levy needed to be upfront about not paying for Traore.Ugh, some or all of that £30m that went unspent on Traore could’ve been put to good use in so many ways. Unfortunately I don’t think we stand a chance if he becomes a free agent.
People were wanting Bissouma, Kessié is even better.
Except for a #10 if Lo Celso or Ndombele don't step it up this year.Who was the last player we got on a pre contract for no fee?
Feels like we should be able to make more of these deals but never do. Hopefully Fabio can work some wonders and pull one or two out the hat. Kessie would give us depth at midfield, along with Sarr coming next season that we wouldn't need to worry about that position for a long time. Plus no fee would be incredible business, more in the budget for the invisible backup striker.
