I liked the look of Breel Embolo at the Euros, younger version of Antonio, might not be super expensive either?”Credit: @TonySmi80928040″Disagree. Would be a great signing so long as he stays fit.”Credit: @Rob_S_Wilcock”What’s wrong with his age, he is 29, has at least 4 years left in him, his game time is better than Antonio’s.”Credit: @StuartDillon1″At this point, I’d take him. However, he seems to only want Champions League football”Credit: @LenaWHUIn other news, West Ham United fans react to a pre-season victory.
