Really good read on Mbemba lads - seems really motivated and determined No ego either which is a plus.

I think Lascelles will be a bit raw to start regularly in the PL so definitely need an experienced defender next to Mbemba (who's only 181? but with a great leap and electric pace). He apparently kept Ibra quiet in a champions league game so his lack of height doesn't seem to be a huge issue.
We're also being linked to another Dutch player - Jean-Paul Boetius of Feyenoord who's a winger and been capped for the national team. Looks a great prospect - quick, skilled and can cross. Him and Aarons could cause havoc down the flanks.

I'm not fussed about his height - 181/182 whatever he is it's irrelevant, how many 6ft3+ forwards are in the PL? Not many at all, the guy has a nice build, is super quick and has been said to play the ball rather than the man anyhow which will work in his favour. Keep in mind Sergio Ramos is 183cm and he is one of the top 3 or 4 CB's in the world!
