After two seasons at K. Beerschot V.A., the Malian midfielder is officially at Bramall Lane. We asked a few Beerschot supporters for their insight into a player that "everybody was excited about".
"He's a very energetic midfield player, very strong for his age but a bit reckless at times. His best position for me would be next to a holding midfielder who allows him to burst forward when needed and arrive in the box at the end of crosses or to get the second ball because he has quite a good shot from distance as well."
On paper, what's not to like?! Definitely one to watch, especially if we don't make many signings in this window. (The injury/drop of form did sound a bit Mousset-esque, but then it was clarified that the whole team had dropped off, so must resist comparisons!)
Thanks for the analysis - I hope we do get to see him in some sort of action for The Blades.
Agreed - think he has the right stuff to make something of himself in the team. It sounds like the Championship is the perfect place for him to develop his game.
