Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 So apparently Chelsea are looking at this guy who had a breakthrough season at Augsburg. Looks pretty decent but I don't know much about him, any avid Bundesliga fans out there? He had a great season and is only 20. He's a two-footed LB from Ghana and played 31 games for Augsburg. 3.5 tackles per game2.7 interceptions2.8 clearances4 assists1.4 dribbles68% pass completionOn paper he looks like a Jose type player. He's fast and looks like he wins a high percentage of tackles (54%) The types of player that would compliment our high press quite nicely. Anyone know anything about him?

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Amavi is better IMO. Also more suited for PL, because he has better balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 £20m he's twenty. Does he have the sort of potential that will see his value increase in a few years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Of course he has, hes 20 after all...20m is a lot for a fullback, its rare you see a return on that sort of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm hearing its £20m. £20m is over 28m€. Real Madrid paid 31m€ for Danilo, established and recognised full-back. By the way, pound to euro rate is really strong now and it's important to keep currency right.Few weeks ago I read that Chelsea want to offer 15m€ for him. And to be fair I don't think that number to go further maybe a few good add-ons to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get the guy who provides exactly what we need the price shouldn't matter to a club like Chelsea. We can sell Luis and Moses and the fee will be covered.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I have never seen him play but it's better if someone like him take Filipe place and Brazilian will help bring Griezmann/Koke here.From youtube videos he looks quick with great stamina, two-footed, nice combination play, strong in tackles and stats suggest that he is good in the air as well. The basic is right so for good money to play firstly a second fiddle to Azpilicueta and Ivanovic, this transfer seems reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Brana isn't getting any younger and while he has had a good season, you can see him falling off hard next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Augsburg will not even get 10m for him. That's just how Bundesliga teams roll in terms of selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 20mil pounds for a 2nd choice 20 year old LB. no thank you. ake would be a better option for the scenario. would rather use the money for a world class winger/CM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
