First season in the PL and solid. Years ahead of him. We’d be mad to sell at that price. Imagine how many defender purchases we’ll have to make over the years if we lose him. Way more that £45m worth. The numbers don’t stack up. Only a mug would accept that.

All very well making him no.1 target, convincing him to join a non champions league team is another thing entirely
