People clamoring for need for pace in attacking positions today, look no further. He does sit high along the back line and time his runs very well, so I think if this is at all true it'd be a great pickup for Poch's system.

Would love for our two incomings to be this guy and Welbeck. Would have a good wide attacker for Eriksen and Lamela to ping, and then a good striker alternative in Welbeck.

Clutching straws like mad this one true. This kid has the kind of pace that shifts a team's entire gameplan, and causes the disorder along a back line Poch's system seeks to induce.

This cat has scored on Munich in the CL. Pace, experience, cultured, back-line run intelligence, plays left wing... So very much hoping this kid is our solution for the position rather than Welbeck. I know I've beaten it to death, but despite that he's a good striker, he offers nothing particularly unique out wide aside from clever runs.

I can only see the link to souhampton in the media. Anyone got a copy of the story linking him to us?

For a side that has brutalized that league, and has even beaten a full strength Munich in the CL. Don't discredit this kid because of his current side. He's a game-changer, and the type of player we desperately need in the attacking positions. Welbeck out wide would solve nothing.

I am currently doing a Salzburg Career Mode on FIFA.

I can tell you one thing about him:


Pacey as fuck.

Would he be an instant upgrade on our left wing ?

Depends. Certainly doesn't offer Chadli's skillset, but he possesses game-changing pace coupled with good intelligence in his runs. Each applied to various circumstances would in itself be an ineffective upgrade for the squad against anyone.

You could say Salzburg's dominance of the Austrian league is even bigger than Bayern's dominance of the Bundesliga.

They have scored 27 goals in 7 games this season and scored 110 in 36 games last season. Brutal.
