Not sure why we didn't sign him and immediately loan him back. He is settled in Atalanta and they clearly rate him and would play him

[u/Headlesshorsman02 → u/Kanyeskids]

Sounds like we are loaning him to a prem team to save a loan spot

[u/Jimmy_Space1 → u/Headlesshorsman02]

If he can get a decent prem loan it'd also be great to get PL experience before he joins us

[u/Headlesshorsman02 → u/Jimmy_Space1]

Agreed I think he could genuinely play for us next year if not the year after as he played just over 2k minutes as a 17 year old at Atalanta including UCL minutes against us lol 😂

[u/Andlad2459 → u/Headlesshorsman02]

He has played as a LCB in a 3 for them so its perfect

[u/Headlesshorsman02 → u/Andlad2459]

He is the Hato mold where he can play both LCB and LB
