Bayern are reportedly preparing to trigger Assan Ouedraogo's buyout clause. The freshly 18yo midfielder was a real monster at the U17 euros and stood out in all of his appearances for Schalke's first team. A huge kid with great strength already, despite not yet having his man-strength, to go with great athleticism and technical skills. With the rumors suggesting that he'd stay with Schalke for another season to finish his schooling and get more PT.
I get so many of the same red flags from Sesko that I got from Darwin. High risk/High reward
The numbers may suggest that, but watching Sesko with Leipzig and Salzburg, I don't. Darwin always had strong Cavani energy, whereas I feel like Sesko was just adapting to the new level this season.
I mean anyone has better touches than Darwin. I just think he is still very raw and is going to cost a ton of money. Sesko didn’t score as many in Europe as Darwin either so there isn’t exactly a big sample size there either. Also, like Darwin he’s only ever played with a strike partner, so we don’t have any sample size with him being up top by himself. In arsenals system he is going to have to play defense too and not sure how equipped he is for that. Arsenal get taller which is obviously a big criteria for them but I don’t think this is going to be a slam dunk
With Openda it's more of a striker pair, but Adeyemi had cart blanche to go wherever he wanted under Jaissle. So that was a lot more like what Arsenal runs.
