Meanwhile we're being linked to Malang Sarr from Nice on a free.

Tbf, it could be a pretty smart move for us - on the playing side of things, he's a left-sided, ball-playing CB who can also play LB, so it would allow us to ditch Kolasinac and retain the tactical flexibility to play a back 3 when needed.

And the fact that he's on a free means that, even if he's a bust, we could still turn a quick profit on him next summer and reinvest (might need to start looking at more deals like that for a few years to fund the rebuild).
