Ismael Ganiou

Looks interesting, but in under contract for a couple of years and wont be cheap. Would play CL football this season at Lens too
 
If the cost is around £30 million I doubt he’s come to sit on the bench or be a squad filler ( we already have one of them in Johnson).
As a centre back I wonder which of the 3 roles he prefers - right, central, left?
Worst case scenario is that he would be seen as a replacement for Lacroix, but let’s hope that won’t be necessary.
We didn’t replace Guehi so perhaps this would be the intention as we need another centre back with the intense schedule and also in the absence of the knowledge of whether Riad can avoid picking up injuries in the medium term.
I get the impression we’re going to stick with a back 3.

We’re also linked with another former Sage player in Edouard, who of course was with us previously.
I suppose a player who knows the club and the Premier League.
I was never overly impressed by him but I suppose he could be seen as a possible replacement for Nketiah if he departs.
I would imagine it would be difficult to find a buyer for Nketiah, other than in a structured deal based on appearances.
He only seems to be unavailable for around half of the games.
There’s also the issue around Mateta.
If he doesn’t sign a new contract the club are likely to try and realise some value for him this summer.
But he did not have the knee operation and there’s the question of a potential buyer and a medical…..

Fits the profile we usually go for, and I do believe we need someone in his position just as a rotation option.

Sage relationship is a plus for me, and if PSG are impressed that bodes well. If Sage wants it, I have trust in him.

Price is a bit steep. Would put him joint-second all time for us with Brennan. Also mean we'd set our top three transfers all within six months.

I would personally go for Ćaleta-Car instead who I mentioned in another thread, on account of having more experience and being a lot cheaper.

I recall Caleta-Car plying is trade for Southampton. He was an £8 Mill Ralph Hasenhuttl signing from Marseille.
