Younger (ok by a couple of months) than the alternative and would take no time to adapt whilst also being a current England International & club captain. Sexy foreign name though from sexy foreign league. Most PL clubs do the bulk of their business in those "sexy foreign leagues." A virgil van dijk level fee for Marc Guehi is frankly astounding, which I imagine is why we haven't lodged such a bid yet despite him being our absolute top target. You can't disentangle the player from the price tag attached to them in a PSR world unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexy foreign name though from sexy foreign league. Simakan is a really good defender, is £20 million less at least, and can also play very comfortably at right back. He might need some time to settle and adjust, but as we have Schar, Burn, Kelly, and even Krafth that would be perfectly fine. Guehi's intangibles would have been a great addition, but Simakan is bringing with him a lot of Champions League experience. It's a great pivot option if we can manage it.

I have doubt over Simakans defense positioning. Other than that he is probably a more natural successor of Schar than Guehi. He simply doesn’t play like a CB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
