Don't worry, he's not Italian. Born in Belgium, eligible for DRCongo but plays for the French U21 side.
This is the lad we should be targeting for that powerful central midfield slot. He's had an excellent season as the powerhouse of the Marseille midfield and combines his naturally powerful playing style with some neat skills and the odd thunderbolt. He looks made for the Premiership in the mould of a young Viera.
Chelsea made a play for him a year or two back and will likely look again so we should be all over this now. Apparently available for circa 20m (Marseille bought him for 6m).
