Pretty good transfer all things considered. We’re getting rid of a 30 year old who hasn’t performed at the top level for us for a long time, for a 23 year old, who might have some issues with injuries/character, but has a potentially big upside. From what I’ve seen of him at Barca, he seems more of a midfielder that Sarri would prefer in his midfield than Pjanic. Arthur seems very comfortable on the ball, great passing, hard to dispossess and can play in a variety if midfield positions.
We definitely came out the winner in this swap deal imo. Plusvalenza or not.
