Player Valuation: £100m
I think when you potentially have Gbamin, Delph and Doucoure who could play the role of a defensive midfielder, adding Pape Mater Sarr for £10-15m over Bissouma who is a £40m player is better business.
I love Bissouma but £40m is a big chunk from our budget which I think we could use elsewhere plus I think United, RS etc are closer to making that deal.
Sarr is playing first team football at 17 admittedly in France and has HUGE potential not unlike Camavinga.
Bissouma joined Brighton from Lille for £15m at 22 with just 50 odd apps, Sarr has 20 so he's ready for the next step and hopefully with Everton.
Seems to be highly rated and going off youtube has a good passing range...thats really all most posters would know having Metz as a team that produced Louis Saha.
I think if we look at the centre midfield options then we have
Gbamin: Who knows
Allan: Next 2 seasons
Doucoure
Davies
We need to have two u21 centre mids coming through...perhaps one is Onyango so we should add another.
Whether thats Sarr or another higher profile player that ticks the box.
Then we also need another player u23 i think who can come straight in and produce for the long term. If were looking for value its Kamara at Marseille.
Get 2 players in the centre U21 and U23 add in a RB + CB and we'd look a far better team defensively.
