I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s signing him for competition for the no.8 role in the championship, but if we get promoted he’ll provide competition to Winks in that Cdm role and we will sign someone else for the no.8 role.
Good signing in terms of versatility and ability, like others have stated the only thing that concerns me is his availability. Replacing Casadei who’s been reliable from an injury perspective with someone who’s injury prone is concerning.
Overall, at the price being paid it’s a low risk signing.
