Deal close according to Spanish media.

Attacking midfielder who plays for Espanyol 

[Ex Lion Tamer]

Right winger, fringe player for Espanol but has started a few games.

One goal and no assists - in the past this might have had alarm bells ringing but I think the club has credit in the bank at the moment

Seems like a top signing. He’s 2nd for offensive duel percentage and in the 82nd percentile for offensive duels won. Looks like Elynoussi level against the ball but in the 96th percentile for chances created amongst wingers in his division. All in all im buzzing about this one

Yup, agree... Larin being a case in point... Extremely underwhelming résumé before joining us, yet turned out decent (at this level at least)...

Which media outlet has said a deal is close?

If he can use space as well as Elyounoussi, that would be great to have.

Quite a few, all in Spanish though so you need Google Translate

Where would this guy play? Seems like the last position we need a player with Matsuki and fellows.

All of the links seem to be quoting the one twitter account who posted about it a couple of days ago.

Matsuki isn't a winger; he's MUCH better centrally as competition for Azaz. We'd be better with Scienzas on both sides of the pitch and on last seasons performances Fellows ain't it. So trying to find another Scienza as a Fellows replacement is a good idea.

I don't think this guy in particular is a second Scienza, but I'm glad the club is looking to improve on Fellows. 

This view might be a bit harsh on Fellows who definitely has ability, but his production last season just wasn't good enough.

Agreed. We’ve never really replaced Elyounoussi with his incredible ability against the ball which perhaps explains our pathetic display in the 2024/25 English Premier League Soccerball Series

But we know we are going to look to sign Azaz competition this summer. I'd be giving fellows another go myself.

Why is Elyounoussi getting so much love here. He was pony.

I don't think any of them said a deal was close. They just said Saints were interested.  Big difference between the two.

Did elyounoussi actually score more than two goals?
