If we are linked in signing him, £15m looks good value.
He is a versatile right back who plays in a 4 or part of 5 man midfield or as a centre back.
View attachment 129540He has a more defensive impact which if you think of how we set up most of the season (4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1 & 3-5-2) he would fit in well especially with rumours of us signing a right winger and right back as priority.
Compare him to Max Aarons who had 2 goals/5 assists in 45 games v Dumfries' 2 goals/6 assists in 30 games, they have a similar impact to their squad.

Aarons is more of an attacking wing back who is given a more free role with Norwich whereas Dumfries is a more general right wing back who plays deeper then supports.
The huge plus for Dumfries is his xG stats or goal assists. He is head and shoulders over Aarons which seems he creates nearly 30% more but not for poor finishing from PSV.
In all honesty, if we can get a full International with European experience who Brands himself bought previously for £15m, I think that's a great signing to start off our summer spending.
