I was thinking that also, mainly because he doesn’t fit the profile of our current CBs. A smokescreen for Branthwaite would be amazing but just can’t see that happening

Branthwaite is probably closer to signing a new deal with Everton. He plays where Virgil plays, hopefully without issues for 2 more seasons.

There doesn’t seem to be much of an update here. This article suggests that we will offer £30 million with a view to agreeing at £40 million. Seemingly he isn’t back in the UK until next month. I would have thought we want any signings settled before pre-season starts.

At this point , the new FFP period starts from July of this year.
We’ll push back any further signings till after July.
Partly the reasons why there are so many unreliable sources linking Isak to us.
We do seem to have the bandwidth

Brilliant defender. Will be great if we can sign him for 40 million.

I’ve only seen him play for England (not nearly 10 games sorry), but I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen and I’d be very happy to see him wearing (more) red next season.

Did he do any good headers?

Alternatively get him for free next summer if Konate leaves us for free

But we need someone to replace Quansah this summer and ideally someone homegrown. We could push it but he’s going to have suitors this summer or next.

Yup. Guehi makes sense on a number of levels, I reckon we get him for around 40M. Maybe something like 37 initial fee with 3-5M add ons if we win the league/CL that sort of thing.

And maybe buy Charlie Cresswell for a mere 18 million.
Is he related to Aaron Cresswell who is a known Red?
