Latest name linked is the left back from Leipzig, David Raum.
Probably a load of made up rubbish. But I hope it's true, from what I've seen of him I think he could work wonders on the left.

Skelly from Arsenal has also been linked now, he's been offered around, quoted 45 million fee.
Suits the model atm, young can play lb and cm.
Decent player with potential. Think anyone getting him will get a good deal if the price is the 45 million.

Chelsea are already on it, no messing around from them.

Not sure he would get in the Chelsea team on a regular basis. So, if he's going to sit on the bench, surely he'd be better off doing it for Arsenal.

I'm not convinced, at the money they are talking, that he gets into our team regularly either. He is a cm and wants to play there. He is not a specialist left back, and I think that's what we need.
Hall, imo, has the chance to be a very good left back. I'm not convinced we won't get him, but if we don't, we do need someone else.
Amass, according to reports, is not doing enough to convince them he can step up.

Agreed, Ken. He came onto the scene and never kicked on.
No way Arsenal sell this guy if he's good enough. Rather keep Shaw and Dorgu.

Might just be me, but never really been impressed by Lewis-Skelly. He's one of them players that jumps into challenges and looks like a red card waiting to happen.

I would be surprised to find him available for 45 million, I would expect him to be worth more in this market. The only way I could see Arsenal letting him go is for PSR/SSR/SCR reasons, due to him being pure profit.
As for the player, he is a very good young player, but he needs to play to continue to develop. He isn't the finished article, although his main weaknesses are things that may well be ironed out with age and experience.
For me, I watch a lot of these young players at big clubs and see many fail to develop because they just don't get enough chances. Yes, the real top guys will, but others could well do with dropping down to a smaller club and playing, rather than languishing in squads and getting occasional games and minutes.
