Josh, you watch a lot of European football, have you seen him and is he any cop?
I’m going to let you down here because I haven’t seen him play. I only know what I have researched about him.
He’s both footed, can play as a 10, 8 and left wing, is technically sound on the ball, has pace and can run with the ball at pace. He was very highly rated a couple of seasons ago but got an injury and missed too much of last season.
Benfica have been playing a 442 over the past couple of seasons with a central 2 of a sitting midfielder and a creative 10. Krovinovic would play the 10 or be out on the left wing.
For us I can imagine him playing as the 10 in a 4231, which is the system that I expect Bilić to use, or as an 8 in a 433 alongside a box-to-box runner with a deeper playmaker or sitting midfielder behind them.
Sitting Midfielder.. Yussuf Mulumbu?. Legs may have gone for box to box but has the ability to be a nuisance in a sitting midfield position IMHO. Please SB consider him... not going to cost much.
