He’s actually decent, 13 goals 6 assists in one of the top ten leagues in the world. Good pace and Can score. If we can get him he would thrive under bilic

While some Baggies fans shared some optimism in response to this post, others shared that they don’t have much confidence in their club’s ability to secure this player’s signature.
Unless that small “m” after the £30 is Madagascar Pounds and the exchange rate is better than 1:1 there is less than no chance.

Love it how they say we rival Tottenham when we don’t have a prayer.

What do we think?
Considering that Tottenham, who have finished in one of the Premier League’s top six positions for each of the last 10 seasons prior to the 2019/20 campaign, are also allegedly interested in the player, it may be understandable why some Baggies fans don’t appear to be overly excited about this report, considering that they currently compete in England’s second tier.
