How long does Axel have left on his Man. United deal now? Would be odd if it's a loan if he's just got 12 months left although perhaps then a cut price deal in January would follow.
With Varane signing for them he isn't playing anytime soon so I reckon he'd fancy coming here. As good as Hause was for us in pretty much every game you'd still obviously say Axel has higher overall potential and he knows the manager and how we do stuff here so won't have trouble settling in.
I'd take him still. Mings has been playing non stop for over 12 months now so I worry a bit he might get a bad injury that would keep him out for 2-3 months given he was regularly pulling up in a few games at the end last season. Would leave us with just Konsa, Hause and a bunch of kids. Last season we had 4 CBs and AEM played CB in early rounds of league cup so we're obviously much weaker as it stands in that area.
