@BlueToff is a massive fan of him mate, looks good on YouTube (most do tbf).
Not a striker though more a wide forward/number 10 type I think.
Never been capped for France weirdly.
Yeah I saw bits of him at Lyon and liked him. He was seen as one of their brightest prospects but then for whatever reason couldn't really get going and was sold to Rennes where he had a decent first season after they sold Raphinha and then was brilliant last year.
I wouldn't say he's creative as such (albeit he created more chances in Ligue 1 alone last year than any of our players did in all competitions combined), but he has a real eye for goal and his positioning is his main asset, as well as a brilliant turn of pace. He loves a shot at goal if he gets space anywhere from about 25 yards out.
Can sometimes look awkward on the ball because his stature but he's good in the air, got a good leap on him and a brilliant shot. I think some of his finishing can be poor at times but if he's played in a left channel where he can influence the game from he's a hell of a talent.
If Gordon left he'd be an instant upgrade and would actually cover Gordon/Richarlison in one player.
But by no means tied to it, I'm sure there's plenty of players the club have watched. We just know from reports they like this lad a lot too.
