We desperately need a player like Fabinho or Fernandinho who shield the back line and keep play ticking over. Winks is great at the latter but provides none of the former whatsoever.
I like Berge but I worry that he's such a massive unit he'd "do a Dier" and lose a yard or two of pace as he ages into his mid-twenties, rendering him incapable of keeping up with the pace of play. Diawara seems to have stagnated a little and is unlikely to be on the market having just signed for Roma anyway. Sangare is definitely an intriguing option. Same with Camavinga but we need a player who can step into the first XI now, not one who might go on to be world class in five years.
Anyone aware of any other young No. 6 types who are physically imposing and can also play a bit?
Ndidi is the only one I can think of....actually William Carvalho? But I doubt we would deal with Betis again
