We've supposedly bid £10m for a 19-year-old Brazilian winger at Gremio. The report said it's likely to be accepted. He's one of two players we were linked with last month when we scouted a specific fixture. Alysson Edward.

Looks decent:

Anyone who can do all that playing for Coventry must be alright.

Quick and has a really good touch but the highlights don't show much end product so he'd probably need a while to settle, not someone who'd come in push for a spot straight away.

Looks like he might have a background in Futsal though by the way he plays, similar to a few Brazilians who've come through that way (including Doug).
In any case the lad’s only 19, think at the price he’d probably be worth a punt anyway.

I really like the look of Morgan Whittaker at Boro. He’s been excellent in the games I have seen this season.
Definitely one for the (near) future

Looked very good when at Plymouth where I saw him. At the time I thought he might be the next Morgan Rogers

In his mid 20’s isn’t he?

Not sure i'd be signing a 25 year old as one for the future.

Looks very much like Morgan Rogers in how he carries the ball.

There's some talk online linking us to Mikel Jaurigizar from Bilbao. He'd be very expensive and I'm not sure where he'd fit, looks like he'd be cover for Tielemans and €60m is a big fee for a squad player.

^^Unless Tielemans is being fattened for a trip to the big Pure Profit bucket?

I think it's a load of nonsense.  "He's a Basque player, Emery is Basque, obviously Emery wants to sign him" kind of logic

I agree, but it's a rumour so in here it goes. For me the price alone makes it highly unlikely. The Belgian lad linked a week or 2 back seems like a much more likely option.

Alysson looks done for around 12m.

Let's hope his aim is true.

And he doesn't really want to go Chelsea.
