Enzo Le Fée

He plays as a advanced attacker for Lorient and would be someone who would be a alternative to Bruno. In a deeper role I don't believe he has the progression via passing the ball to elevate ten Hag's vertical playstyle in the first phase. Just being good at carrying/dribbling the ball isn't enough in the build up phase.

I'd say Le Fee along with Kudus and Veiga (also linked) are best utilised as attacking midfielders.

Yup, you don't need him. We could do with him in our setup though.
 
For the quoted £20m fee it's a no-lose punt. You'll basically make that back by selling him on in a year or two if he's not up to scratch. And if he adapts to the pace and physicality of this league then you've got a proper player on your hands that you've picked up for peanuts.

I would agree with you (and normally advocate the same for this type of signing) but we presumably don't have much margin of error this Summer with FFP and potentially the Glazers staying. That £20m could prove vital in getting the deal for a Osimhen, Kane etc. over the line. Having said this, I do think that we could do with a couple of punts and maybe an Eriksen competitor like Enzo is a position in which we can do this. I'd probably want to see better reviews from those who see him regularly though... feels like he may have taken on a bit of hype that isn't quite warranted.
 
No doubt our head of recruitment will press the computer button and come out with Sean Longstaff
 
Want to see @LuckyScout78 run the rule on him first before I commit to this

No offence, Caf.

I don't know him and i haven't seen him before.

He looks really good on the ball. Really high basic ball skills. I definitely will follow him.

But since i haven't seen and watch a full match of him before. I wil not to rush to conclude his football level, as a cm and football player.

But i see. He easily passes players/get away from players. So again. He definitely really good on the ball.


Definitely one to watch out and i will follow him more in the future. But at this moment and right now. Not sure yet. Look similar to Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea and Argentina.
 
Don't Sunderland have Jobe and Rigg playing the advanced midfield role? Maybe one on the way out?
 
Very good midfielder! Lost his way a little bit by moving clubs a bit too early but still a very talented player.

I’m curious to see how he’ll fare in England and if he’ll be able to cope with the physicality of the game
 
A 25 year old player who is a quicker Verrati, better than De Jong, a Bruno and Eriksen replacement no-brainer that will set us up for the next ten years in midfield unless our incompetent club scouts misses out so he’ll go for an enormous amount next year. Sunderland have done a fantastic loan deal here based on the Caf Scouting report!

Yep.

Easy for posters to get in the Isak forum and say how it was a no brainer to get him, and how our scouts are terrible - yet the same posters were probably in here a few years back saying we should go all out for Le Fee.

Every time I see some say something is a ‘no-brainer’, I tend to think ‘exactly!’
 
His stats do seem weirdly at odds with his career trajectory. What went wrong with him?
