How likely is this guy to start for you guys? Getting him on a free seems like an insane piece of business. I'm just wondering, is this guy likely to start and what are your impressions of him so far?
He’ll definitely be a starter, Reguilon’s transfer listed and Sessegnon is pretty pony so will be Perisic’s understudy. It might be 50-50 if he starts on the weekend though as he’s been recovering from an injury after his final game at Inter but he did start our last pre-season game and played 75 mins, was also our best player in it too so it’s very possible he starts against Southampton - I think every fan hopes he does anyway.
He’s not fully fit and Conte has said he’s not the Ivan Perisic that he knows yet but I’d imagine he will start as the alternative is Sessegnon who’s been disappointing so far.
Agree with a lot of the comments above, one thing to bear in mind if you’re asking this for Fantasy Football purposes though is that we have a crazy schedule of games and Conte will almost certainly rotate him and Sess quite a lot. Most of us think Perisic will be our best LWB but he’s probably not going to start every league game, especially in CL weeks.
