Not necessarily happy with this - but there is an argument that his value was declining. He wasn’t scoring like he used to. He had 7 touches for Rennes at the weekend after starting. There’s a limited market for that player. You have to think the Jota/Kyogo deals were linked and maybe we prefer this outcome.
Though we definitely needed to replace Kyogo. I’m not sure 6 months of Ings or Ihneacho was worth pursuing at much expense.
Will look a shambles if we’re still scrambling around all summer though. And I imagine we will will be.
