Hector Fort from Barcelona, a defender, is now being linked with us, any info on this guy BN mate?

All day long, mate. Good talent. No chance he comes to us. We will either right up until the final minutes, then bring in a goalkeeper on a free and some random midfielder.

We had interest in him last summer, but he went on loan to Elche.
Good passer as you'd expect from a Barcelona youngster, nippy and good down the flanks and capable of playing both right and left back.
My concern would be a reluctance to play him like Aznou. He would need to adjust to the physical side of the Premier League, but is skillful and exciting and stands at 6'1, so should adjust.
Other concern would be his injury while impressing on loan at Elche which required surgery on his shoulder after driving into the box to score.
That was December last season, but he did return.
Rumoured to be a relatively low fee at around £10m and Barcelona are looking to sell, loan with option/obligation might be safer option but a few clubs are interested.
Would be a great long term signing if bought in as one of two RB's in my opinion.

Cheers for the info.

In my humble opinion, GB, I think bringing him in alongside a more experienced rb, for example Johnston, Baku, Ridle or even Wan Bissaka, would give good balance on the right and allow the forward to do what we want and get some goals and assists, especially when we have someone like Ndiaye cutting inside, a fullback like Fort can drag defenders out and create space.
Just feel it would be tough to get him.
