Don’t think Swansea are keen to do business with them after how they went about getting their manager

This would be a great signing, he's as close as you'll get to guaranteed goals at this level and with being 23, will only get better.

 

My only concern would be the amount of strikers we'd have at the club, if Enzo is planning on 2 up top then it's not so bad - but we need to shift some on.

We'd only be chasing him if we expected at least one, possibly two, of our senior strikers to leave.

Like you said though, IF Enzo was planning on playing 2 up top... Piroe/Iheanacho alongside Vardy/Daka.

I can’t imagine Kelechi will stick around, far too good for the Championship. Daka might want a move, and Vardy might want to try something outside England before he retires. I’d be shocked if all 3 stayed. 

[Levi Port]

Perfect for the system, can drop in, link the play, combine with our wingers, and score goals. Seems to have real composure, get it done.

Piroe and Daka would be an extremely handy front two at this level.

That would be an outrageous set of striking options for the Championship.

[Nick]

It's a flat no from me on the basis of his goal celebration.

[GingerrrFox]

He can play up top or left of a front three. I reckon we are looking at 3-5-2/3-4-3 next season.

I need to see his choice in backpack before I make a decision

[RowlattsFox]

Swansea would want quite a bit for him I imagine. I've never seen him play but you'd think the best players in the Championship would have Premier League interest rather than moving from one championship team to another.

I bet we are willing to outmatch anyone else in this division for wages, bar maybe Leeds. And even then I bet Leeds will only fork out for American players.

This is more like it instead of overrated premier league flops

[ian__marshall]

Having watched that video posted above he reminds so much of Ulloa. Looks very calm in front of goal. Would be happy with this.

This looks like this summer’s Maynard saga

That's exactly it. If we were still in the Premier League, this would still be an intriguing signing. 

 

I get excited for signings that are 24 or younger, and who have proved themselves at a lower level. We've had some failures, but players like Maddison, Fofana, Soyuncu, Ndidi, Maguire all fit this profile.

[SecretPro]

Greatest player yet to wear the shirt.

Ooooh...actually starting to wonder if Enzo is thinking 3-5-2 with that list.

Big fan of Piroe though, get him in.

If true wouldn’t be surprised to see us go for a LWB as personally don’t feel like Kristensen or Thomas offer enough going forward.

we have been linked with Sessegnon and Giles both attacking left wing backs.

[AKCJ]

I like him but £20m is too much for a Championship club to pay for someone in the last year of his contract.

 

Think we should be trying to get that figure down. He's not worth half a Maddison.

[FOXYTALK]

£10 million I reckon

Maybe, and a couple have been linked but I think people on here are a little harsh on both Kristiansen and Thomas. I can see both really impressing next year whether at LB or LWB.

Well lets get on with it 

 

Do it. Do it . 

 

Is there anything we can track? A Plane from Cardiff Airport? 

 

Do we have a man in the know? 

 

My god I'm excited
