keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 17, 2019 Also, the Sun have Norwich linked to Nuno da Costa. A Cape Verde international who plays for Strasbourg in Ligue 1. Can play out wide or as a striker, very quick and always puts in a shift. For £5m he’d be a very good back up option to Pukki as well as someone who could offer something different out wide. His record of 8 in 34 isn't brilliant. We will find goals harder to come by next season. I think Pukki will finish if he gets the service. I think that is the key question.

Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted June 17, 2019 If he can play out wide or as a striker he ticks several boxes, which may actually make our interest in him a little bit more likely. Just looking at stats for a player often doesn’t show the true picture as, for a ‘utility’ player, you don’t know which role they were playing in the side. If we go for/get a player in, we can trust that SW/DF will have done their homework on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some other players who came from overseas and played for us recently have had their best ever seasons in terms of assists and goals. So, although his record is what it is, doesn't mean that it will stay that way forever! Farke gets the best out of his players... Why not have a look? He has played on the wing and as a second striker quite a lot so not an out and outer which is what Farke likes... Adaptability! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be great news, hope you're right. Although he signed an extension until 2022 last summer, I'd imagine his stock has risen so much in the last 12 months he'll be after a substantial raise to stay here.

Funnily enough, "Nuno da" in Portuguese means "none of" None of Costa (Coffee). So, the joke didn't work at all really but good effort to the poster...

Good pedigree if he came through the Arsenal academy, presume that either him or Thompson (or maybe both) would go straight out on loan though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
