The midfielder was physical, disciplined and worked ferociously – and based on those performances alone – he’ll seriously add something to our squad. He’s not exactly a natural anchorman though, so we’re not sure he’s exactly what we need, although his potential signing is still pretty exciting.
Kondogbia has three caps for his country, and has turned out 49 times in the French top flight for Monaco. At 6 ft. 2′, he’s a real physical specimen, and despite his marauding midfield tendencies, we’d still be delighted to see him sign.
