I seem this on the app too.
Watched a bit of him play for Groningen on espn not so long ago and looked a quality player who is good with the ball at his feet aswell. Been in eredvise team of the year for this season and I read somewhere before he has attracted interest from man united at some point too. Would be a top signing imo.

Yeah thought so. There are a few big players like Crouch and Carroll in the Prem, could do with a towering CB

A towering CB with a long range shot and freekick on him by the looks of it.

If we were in for him in January then it could be a bit of truth in this, hope we get him.
