BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 21 years old french lb playing for Nice.I noticed this guy on whoscored being brilliantly rated almost every game (apparently best LB rated player in top leagues), so I decided to watch last 4 Nice games and man, he looks like a huge huge talent. Absolutely bossed it against lyon.If I ever saw successor to Ashley, I think it could be this guy. His ball control is great, I loved his runs through the left flank, he has pace and stamina, works realy hard and runs up and down all the time. BUT what realy makes him above the rest is his defending. What a player. He is so agressive in challenges that sometimes it seems he made a horror tackle or sth, but then you see he was clean as tackle can be. Realy remined me on Cole in his best days when he judged the situation and cleared the danger with one precise tackle. Amavi is similary no nonsense and has great timing when to tackle.His crossing, dribbling is equaly impressive. Physicaly, I think he could adopt realy well to PL, his physique is quite similar to Coles too.Players from ligue 1 usualy work very well in PL (Hazard, Azpi, Essien, Makelele, Anelka, Malouda, Drogba,...) and I think this guy is worthy to be targeted in near future before price goes too high or some big team gets him.If we ever plan to play Azpi on right, Amavi would be my top choice for long term full back. Watched him only 4 times so far, but he realy is special, I highly recommend you to watch few Nice games if you have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveLamp 270 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I live in France and follow Ligue 1 (including analysis programmes from time to time) and I've never heard of him.That is not to belittle what you say as I am far from knowing everything about Ligue 1, but simply to say - I can't comment on him just now but OK, I'll keep a look out!

Chelsea_firstlove 178 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 League1 vs PL, but it's amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 League1 vs PL, but it's amazing!He looks pretty strong on the pictures. Also his aerial duels stats are better than Ivanovic. In this days with Mourinho, first thing I look up at fullback if he's good in the air, that's the basic. And this guy stats suggest that he's very good in the air.

Leif 6,006 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 i don't know if he's crazily good in the air for someone 5'9 or if Ivanovic just isn't up to par for someone 6'1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonsFinest 692 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 We already have a LB. You can dream, but it's false hope that Azpi is going back to RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illmatic 901 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 To Aston Villa 14M€ (10M pounds).Today is almost impossible get a good young player for less of 10M, even if he is a practically unknown player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,069 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Tabanou to Swansea for £3.5m.That could be one of the best signings. Swansea normally make astute signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
