He is definitely a rising star

Utrecht definitely want to cash in in January, so he'll be going somewhere. Sunderland have watched him repeatedly and definitely want to sign him. Ajax are interested and will know his worth better than English clubs. Conclusion = he won't come cheap. Could we land him? I think we probably could if we are prepared to spend big. He will be aware we have a few French speaking players and may well see the chance of playing alongside Mbokani as a strong positive. It would send out a huge positive statement of intent if we did get him. As I said in an earlier post, I'm waiting for local feedback on him ...
