Not really that similar, although he is what I'd call an attacking midfielder type. The other lad we were linked with (according to an ITK) is a lot more Mane-esque - Moses Simon.
Morocco a lot quicker to the ball and sharper at the moment. So much better than their opening game....
As per the first game, William Carvalho just waddles through games with no urgency.
Linetty is an AMC type, not what I'd call a pure central midfielder. That's what we're seemingly looking for, maybe two attacking types. An obvious replacement for Boufal, and some directness and pace on the wings. (one can hope)
