One of the hottest prospects in world football. Have to congratulate those involved in securing his signature.

Anyone know why he's staying with Metz for the season?

It seems like the ECL is a good way to give new players game time while they settle in.

I'd imagine it enabled us to get the deal over the line easier. Would be great to have him onboard straight away but at least we got it nailed down.

lower up front fee which means we secure the deal but still have some left over for other targets.

All that, but I think the main reason is that it made the deal palatable for Metz and thus made us the favoured bidder. They get another year of his services and they can count on a substantial receipt in a year.

And for his development in the long run, he will benefit hugely from being a starter in the French league for one more year rather than getting the odd match with our B-side in cup games of lesser importance.

It´s a win for all parties; seller, buyer and player.
