Been rumoured for a while.  Looks like a centre back that plays at fullback.  I know this is all the rage right now.  Is it just me that would rather see a marauding attacking left back?  Nuno Mendes looking good for Portugal tonight.  Doubt PSG will sell mind.

Calafiori can bomb on as well

I thought the same. But I want a proper centre back, nailed on starter. For me a good team has a strong spine, centre back, central midfield and striker.

Need one of them too

Juventus apparently can’t afford and Arsenal’s focus is their right hand side as they are already stacked at the left. 

Anyone got a random youtube compilation they can post of him?

Check out the highlights of Italy's Euro games. They last all of 20 seconds and mostly feature him. Very good young player, their best defensive prospect in ages.

Bought him on FM a while ago and he was okay.

 

That's my contribution. 

The name sounds like a character from Tintin. Sign him up.

He looked a good player for that turgid Team Italy.

In fairness Sconnie this could be from any period after 3 consecutive games from Chilwell ever since he's been here.

He's a very good talent. He has some oldschool type of Italian defender in him. 

If we hadn't a quality LCB, then I'd say he must go after him.

We have Colwill, he has to be our first name in the lineup.

Is he a CB? I thought the way people were speaking about him he would be a LB.

He's a CB. Came through the Roma academy.

Similar profile to Colwill then? Looking online he's played LB as often as CB. Could mean we'll see Reece inverting into midfield this season with either this bloke or Colwill playing 'LB' and making a back 3 when needed. 

Seems he started out life as a LB and LWB. Motta at Bologna moved him to CB last season where he grew another leg.

I’ve only watched him in the Euros so I’m not really sure about his quality - but my god he’s stylish. Visually looks like a mix between Cannavaro and Maldini

His Mrs must be happy.
