I'll be honest, until we got linked to him, I knew next to nothing about the lad. I guess I was too busy raving about Kovacic to notice a short African player plying his trade at a German club I'd not even heard of.
I assumed because of his diminutive stature, that he was a poor version of Kante (as he'd become the latest footy trend in this country) But as I watched the RAWK post numbers quickly swell about him, and then £ numbers being banded about to buy him, I decided to watched some youtube clips that in hindsight, did him absolutely no justice what so ever. I honestly thought along with football in general, LFC and RAWK had gone mad!
Anyway, after reading what the German press had to say about him along with other experts, and then downloading some of Leipzig's games and watching better quality clips of his skills, I've gone full circle. What a player!! It's been a long time since I've been this excited about a player joining us. He looks like an incredible talent, and one who has a completely unique style for the position he plays in. We might well have bought ourselves a generation defining midfield player like no other. I now understand why LFC worked so hard to get this deal done. Brilliant!
