FWIW... Brugge's all time record sale is 25mil Euros... So it shouldn't be an exorbitant fee.

Herc confirming our interest in the ITK thread.

Would be good to beat Leicester to one after letting Daka slip.

Hope we’ll beat Leicester and I suppose we should in every way.

I really like the look of this kid. A big man whose actually fabulous at the technical side of football.
Does anyone if he's strong on the ball? Don't need another havertz in the league.

Has daka actually been worth it? Jury's out on that one.

Agreed that the jury is out.

He's shown some promise in the European games (scored 4 in one game I believe), not had much of a chance in the PL with Vardy and Iheanacho established at the club.

Think he was somethng like £20m. Had we signed him Son might not have had to play on Weds and pick up a Hamstring injury.

I think this guy looks more talented tbf. Proper footballer with good physical attributes.

Top player and talent. Would be ecstatic if we get him. Just has a natural feel for the game, and he isn’t really confined to a position per say. Ironically that could be an issue in a Conte system, but he’s a great mover off the ball, and he uses his frame to his advantage, even though his height could be seen as a disadvantage. I’ve seen a bit more than just his CL appearances, but def have to watch more.

i think if we get adama as the rwb he would be perfect on the right next to kane and son. we need a reliable third goal threat in the team and this guy from what i have seen has great football intelligence and knows how to play the game.

I like the look of this kid more than Vlahovic. I do like Vlahovic, and if his goalscoring form translates out of Italy he'll be a boon for any club, but I do prefer strikers who can create. This guy could be the new samelar hound.

What I like about him is that he's not afraid to get stuck in and press which is key for what Conte needs.

Conte is also known for liking tall forwards, especially ones that are technically good like this guy.

Does tick a lot of boxes. Hope the interest is serious and if so we get a move on with it. We need attacking players in ASAP.

Agree. Vlahovic is overhyped from the matches I've seen him in. Talented, but hyped. This guy seems like the real deal.

Don't forget this guy is playing in the Belgian league.

He does look like a great prospect but you have to consider the opposition he's playing against.

Vlahovic is doing the business in a much tougher league.

Would be a great backup striker option in the meantime and hopefully push Lucas in 2022/23 season.

I'd also be surprised if we picked him over Kulusevski and I'm not sure how you do Vlahovic, Ketalaere & Kulusevski.

Maybe a DV alternative ? Let’s face it, we ain’t getting Dusan. Lots of top teams in need of a striker in the summer. Pay more. Guaranteed trophies and better weather.

The beauty is, this kid is so versatile you can bring DV in aswell.
