El Khannous is good, don't get me wrong.
Akliouche is an £80m player in waiting. He's a serious talent someone will get him for £20m/£25m this summer and he'll be a star. Exactly what we need on the right too.
He moves into space, controls well, and can pass. The more of that we get around Ndiaye and/or Alcaraz, the better.
Give us at least 1 pacy winger and 2 midfielders who can complete a pass and we suddenly have a real chance at transitioning on...
Would see McAtee as more of an attacking midfielder than a winger. El Khannous I've seen plenty of times at Genk. He always stood out as a very special talent. Not really followed him at Leicester, but that boy has bags of talent and potential.
Face it. We’re going to manage some business that makes us stronger but not elite, and inevitably we will sign too many in one area and still be missing a starting RB.
But by God this season will be more fun than the last several.
I'd probably take El Khannous over McAtee anytime. McAtee is ofc home grown, which is a big plus, but El Khannous is the better player I'd say. Have tbh though, seen al lot more of El Khannous than I did of McAtee.
Moyes is spearheading the recruitment process so if it doesn't come together for reason it's on him and he's been very optimistic this summer regarding signings which in the past he has always been transparent about even if it didn't bode well
