Seems a bit unlikely given how much money we were suggested to be spending overall initially, the fact that apparently Freuler and Maupay are signing, the fact we'd then have Freuler, Yates, Kouyate, Mangala and O'Brien without mentioning Cafu or Colback....(and the fact at some point the squad would reach 25 players and on the face of it maybe attacking midfielders would be more the priority)

But, maybe even if we're not going hugely above the suggested budget, if none (or possibly one, excluding MGW) of the Ukrainian from Atalanta, Garner and Gibbs-White were going to come, then I wonder whether he could be both an alternative to Garner as progressive midfielder and a backup to Lingard as AM until one or two already signed AMs might arrive mid season (and possibly play some minutes as a 3rd midfielder, AM or in a line of 3, when appropriate depending on the state of the game and scoreline)?

One thing I'd have liked to see more of coming in (hence suggesting Sallai, getting excited when McAtee might have been coming on loan for example) is smooth and clever ball players, and I get the impression he'd add some of that, as well as being pretty tall and athletic. Whether he could also play alongside a Mangala, or O'Brien sometimes due to that size and mobility is possible (despite we'd have 3 other options to do so now lol!), but I'd guess he could also be played alongside a Yates, or his Swiss team-mate, and be tasked with aiding smooth transitions, building cohesive attacks while also covering and getting back defensively (like I say the Garner role in that respect - not sure whether he'd have Garner's passing range or not but he might use the ball well in general).

This is what I've managed to find on Youtube (not a lot to be fair) to give an impression
(that's Eintracht's Europa League goals and he's involved in a few in one way or another)
(20 seconds clip lol, but promising for the old Forest counter attacks?)
(short montage)
(interview in which he seems likeable, and as a bonus talks better English than most of us possibly - if he came to Forest he'd be missing out on those big games he was talking about though, but hopefully it'd be well worth it for us and him if he did!)
