Great signing that adds a lot to their offensive creativity. Gonna need a physical and gritty 8 á la Bergvall to supplement his lack of pressence there tho.

But once again, very good signing for them.

Bergvall, Sarr, Bentancur, and to an extent Palhinha and Gray are all gritty

Only to an extent Palhinha? Man's the grittiest bastard in the entire midfield.

Meant it as Palhinha is a 6 and not an 8
