It's too big 625 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Apparently we are willing to pay his buy out clause. He is a centre back from Benfica. https://www.noticiasaominuto.com/desporto/625230/arsenal-o-jogador-esquecido-que-foi-vendido-apos-seis-anos-sem-jogar Does anyone here know more about him?

Chelsea4 1,521 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 My friend told me this:"Victor Lindelof is 22 year old Sweedish international CB but can also play as a RB he had really good season.His strenght besides good defending is that he can also start attacks because he is fast and his passing for a CB is amazing.I would ask for more money considering the current market but we are not a club that can reject a 30m bid if you sign him then you're gonna get a great player but i hope he stays we need him" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonsFinest 692 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Bag this as fast as you can. Would be a good addition and with Christensen coming back, we'll be set for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Didn't know owt about him till our very recent links. Seems like a pretty good CB/RB/CDM. Looks like there was interest from the Mancs and now some sort of tug o war between RM/ and Barca. Only thing I dont like about him is he looks a bit like Skrtel but I'd have him over Bane in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King11Didier 916 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Sign him up! Would prefer him over every other CB if we really can't sign Koulibaly. Hope we can finalise this transfer before some other clubs come and take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thendo 1,088 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Very good prospect but I don't think he's ready for a top PL side yet.Should stay at Benfica for atleast one more season imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Is this supposed to be in addition to a top CB signing or instead of one? If it's the latter I'd be extremely disappointed. We need essentially a "can't miss" signing at CB not a project or someone that may or may not be ready for the top level like this guy. We need someone who is a clear upgrade on what we have.

RuudiGullit 112 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 If this is going to be our "top" central defender signing....that would be an absolute joke. We need a beast like Koulibaly or someone like Mustafi. Not this Swedish kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Please excuse me for sounding like a complete idiot but... LINDELOF IS A SWEEEEDE!! OMG if this fucking happens..... On a serious note, it's mature to point out he's not the best option out there.. would rather get Bonucci. But Victor is SWEDISH, THAT'S OK WITH ME!!!

Chelsea4 1,521 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 He looks good but is inexperinced and young he has still has to learn alot and that's at the moment not what we need, we need someone who is gonna improve our back 4 immediately if Conte things the fee for Koulibaly is too mcuh then we should sign Mustafi who is a great player.

empire of emotions 247 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 never heard of him, whats happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Have no idea why would we be linked with him when at the club we have the likes of JCS, Tomori, Christensen and Zouma. Young, potentially world class defenders are not our problem. Please get one of Mustafi or Koulibaly. Have no idea if we could use him as FB, but even there, please do get someone already good enough to start. We've already seen what happened with Baba.

lucio 5,418 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Nelson e EuroCampeão @NelsonL08 @CalcioChelsea started playing RB for Sweden, plays CB, very young, arguably the best defender in Portugal. Nicknamed Iceman, he's brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuudiGullit 112 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Meanwhile while Emenalo is dealing with this kid, Everton are almost done signing up a better defender: Koulibaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
