We could certainly do with some fresh legs in the middle of the park and it would be great if the club targeted a move for a high-potential player that could partner Mateo Guendouzi for the many years to come.

The youngster is largely used in a traditional central midfield role, but he has also featured as a defensive midfielder for the Brazilian outfit.
