Had the most touches and made most passes of all players with a completion percentage of 87%. Also lost possession 21 times, almost twice as much as any other Feyenoord player. Attempted 2 tackles, both unsuccessful, won 2 of his 8 ground duels, attempted 4 dribbles, only one being successful. I don't think he was that impressive and the numbers paint a similar picture. In general, if we are looking for a reliable passer that offers and enhances our control in terms of possession, I am not convinced it is him.
No doubt he is a good player, but the amount of times he loses possession compared to other players in that regard is worrying. Maybe, if we were to sign him, his role would change and he wouldn't need to be as creative, since he'd probably play alongside Bruno. Then again, he might just be that type of player and similar to Pogba, we'd shoehorn him into a role that isn't his.
