I think he’s looked at as a Xhaka upgrade rather than as a 9, which would make sense both on why we cooled on Caicedo and why we want him when Balogun and Eddie exist. Personally think he’d be good in any of our front 5 spots except LW, and we need another backup for Saka even if Nelson extends. The Chelsea bit is my main problem with it, but if it works out I won’t protest too much.
