People comparing this to the Njie and Nkoudou signings need to remember that they were made by a different scouting team, and that Hitchen is regarded as an expert in the French market.

Marcel is also young enough where we can slot him into the U21 team with no problem and give him regular game time and time to adapt to England there before putting too much/any first team pressure on him.

It's also kinda hilarious/sad that because 3 French signings have not panned out/delivered yet there are people writing the entire country off

And its a league we will probably continue to go back to as its one that at least retains some sense of value.

Based on those highlights, you can see, if the link is true, why Spurs are looking at him. You could draw some comparisons at this stage.

Be interesting to see if our interest is firm and what happens.

I've seen dead people spend less time on the ground than he does in that video. But aside from that, looks a talent.

Being an expert in the French market might help him to unearth talent in France - but what's vital is that we have an expert on hand who is the best at identifying whether that talent will make it in the Premier League.

Vincent Marcel is a very talented midfielder that has very good technical qualities, but his physical ability is also decent. He is very good at building the play but can also track back very well.

The signings of Nkoudou and Njie are low risk high reward, we're essentially loaning these players by getting them in for low fees and if they don't impress we can easily make our money back on them, my only concern would be that we start to get a negative reputation.

Apart from the millions you pay out in wages and agents fees.

Has some real zip.

I appreciate players with a lot of zippiness.
