With the deal getting closer and closer my big question is what exactly are we signing him for ? Is he our new starting LWB, cover for chilwell, LCB or all of the above. 50 mil isn't cheap but he's a good age, had a very good season in the prem and seems like a Tuchel signing so all that seems positive to me. I must admit I do like signing people who have already shown they can cut it in the prem rather than "unknown" quantities from abroad even if it does cost more. So where do you see him fitting into the team/squad ?

I'm down for this. I didn't watch Brighton a ton last year but every time I did I specifically remember thinking the guy with the mob looks top quality
I only saw him playing LB but he can play LCB apparently? I dunno why you'd want him too (unless we're playing very wide to open a team up) but cool I guess.

He’s player lcb a number of times. I think he suits that better than lwb as he’s better at progressing the ball than he is creating chances. His best work is in the first two thirds.

I can only assume they are worried about chillwell injury history (the last one being particularly bad)

yeah but you could have got more from chelsea, bottled the deal and settle for pennies for your best player....bye bye Leeds

I’m sure Cucurella WILL go to the ball.

probably waiting for Barcas bid now chelsea have scouted him and bid. Barca have an entire team soon that cant be registered coz they havent improved their finances
