Highly rated Dutch manager there though. Plus rumours are that Man City are after him too. Just can’t see us being that level yet, sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Alvaro Morata is one of those players that's been moved about so much on both permanents and loans that I'm not sure even he knows who he actually belongs to. He is basically the Office Space Milton of elite European football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a quick filter by "young", "CM", and "international" in Europe's top leagues. Ruled out unrealistic candidates like Tchouameni then wasn't left with much in our sort of ballpark. Of those, he seems the most obvious fit for our system and style based on a quick YouTube scout and looking at his available statistics. Seems likely to move to the PL this summer for around £15M, but we haven't been directly linked anywhere as far as I can tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool I noticed him too coming from a different angle, but I agree he seems more in line with what Howe would be after. He seems to be a real prospect.
