Saw him play for Benfica against Sporting Lisbon in 2015 at the real Stadium of Light - he looked top quality even though Sporting won 3-0
Like this quote "Toon boss Rafa Benitez has been working on a deal for the star for the past six weeks." Shows that he has had the control for a little while now and Carr's departure was pretty much a forgone conclusion. Know nothing of this lad but for £175m he better be good, personally I'd not pay over £17.5m for him
No way he's going to cost anywhere near £17.5m, even if true. Probably a release clause, usually pay around half.
Sounds like a good player but £17.5M for a player who has spent most of the last couple of seasons on the bench isn't going to happen
