Was one of the best wing backs in the world when he was with Atalanta a few years ago - worked his way into the German squad for Euro 2020 and got a big move to Inter who made the CL Final with him in 2022/23.

Career seems to have stalled a bit since then - he left Inter after only 18 months and moved to Union Berlin who are essentially a mid-table Bundesliga side, and was left out of WC 22 and Euro 24 squads for the national side, despite a shortage of German left backs.

I'm not sure if there are any personal circumstances or question marks around attitude or anything like that, but his stock has certainly dropped significantly since the Atalanta days.

if he's anything like the player he was at Atalanta, it would be phenomenal business for us, but I suspect that is not the case.

Oops, sorry, so used to posting about our players leaving. MODS, pretty please can you move this to Transfer Talk it'll keep Beak happy

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

It would be quite astonishing if we didn't sign another left wing back this summer.
Poor Mitchell never gets a breather.

They need to pass the transfer down the left hand side.

To be honest I will enjoy life more when the window closes and we still have eleven players!

My bird's been talking again!
