Can someone give a more detailed description of this guy? I have not watched enough Fiorentina games to come up with any conclusion.
My gut feel is that this guy is good but unlikely to be world class. If you are going to pay north of EU40m for someone he better be at least on the verge of being world class. I know valuations are higher these days, but we paid 40m for Dybala so could he be on a similar level? My other concern is that he, Dybala and Shick are left footed and it would seem he has very similar characteristics to Dybala at least in terms of his style of play.
At 35-40m it would seem that most of you here would be in favor of the deal - however the Fiorentina president doesn't look like he wants to sell - does this mean we have to dish out 45m+? Does he have a release clause?

He has a good left foot and has scored some screamers. He has a threat to shoot when he cuts inside which pressures the defence. It is not Dybala level of terror though.
For me, I think he can combine with our more prominent attackers when we break or against tight defences. And that's why hes most attractive to me. I think he can play the 1-2's, he can play the through balls, he can take his chances when the ball is laid off to him.
I can't think of a good comparison for him. I think maybe a worse version of Draxler or something.
