According to the Mail (yes, I know) we're in for him. £15m for a 20-year-old defensive midfielder, currently playing for Rennes. I've only seen him once, but I must admit he was very impressive. Big, strong, fast, skilful, dominating. Reminded me a bit of Vieira, although that comparison should probably be avoided as it tends to end in tears (eg Momo Sissoko). Encouraging though. We could do with a bit of steel and pace in our midfield.
He's meant to play in the friendly v England this week btw, so you should all get a chance to see him in action.
