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 game

2.7 interceptions

2.8 clearances

4 assists

1.4 dribbles

68% pass completion

On 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?

In youtube looks very fast. Yedlin levels of speed.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Amavi is better IMO. Also more suited for PL, because he has better balance.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Yes please.

[Z4YN 20]

No top club material. Same corresponds to Rüdiger.

[didierforever 7,349]

have been hearing a lot about him. have never seen him play. would like it if someone can explain his strengths, weaknesses, style of play etc etc.

what about the fee?rumored

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

£20m he's twenty. Does he have the sort of potential that will see his value increase in a few years?

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.

You mean 20 million euros ? Augsburg would sell for less I think.

I'm hearing its £20m.

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.

I don't know much about him to comment, judging from his numbers and youtube vid he looks like a Jose type player. 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]

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.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Brana isn't getting any younger and while he has had a good season, you can see him falling off hard next year.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Sign him up

[Amblève. 4,995]

Augsburg will not even get 10m for him. That's just how Bundesliga teams roll in terms of selling.

City has joined the race for baba.
