Apart from replacing Caceres and keeping Morata, our biggest priority is gonna get some reliable players in the middle. We already have two not so physically reliable players in Khedira and Asa, and we are pushing Hernanes to China, and Marchisio's injury. We definitely need at least one if not two players in the middle. We can go by Serie A without the reinforcements in the middle but not good enough for Europe.
Lemina being signed up was pretty uncertain up to this point, especially with Marseille already decided they not gonna sign either De Ceglie or Isla, means we got to fork out the cash for Lemina rather having one of them to bring the price down. But with Marchisio's injury, it has opened up a door for Lemina to prove in the next 5 games if Marota should take up the option and sign him outright or not.
