We need that extra quality,  moving Longstaff and Willock to off the bench roles.   He is that combative ball winning defensive midfielder we need,  moving Bruno back to the roaming playmaker role he thrived in last season.

Mount, Gallagher, Kante, Kovacic, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Gilmour, and Chukwuemeka aren't enough?

The team is lacking a defensive minded midfielder that breaks up play. Far too easily do teams run through our midfield. Been the case since last December. We do well with Kante and/or Kovacic in the team but when they are both out our issues are apparent. 

Gilmour is off to Brighton and Chukwuemeka I'd imagine will be eased in.

Who would you get rid off first to make room?

Virtually know nothing about him. 

Screams panic buy. We had 3 months to bring in another midfielder. 

He is a typical ball winning defensive midfielder,  combative and scrappy.  Marco Van Basten said he is to slow though,  which is strange considering how well he did last season.

We've moved to Denis Zakaria as an alternative. Confirmed move. Loan with option. 

Probably the best we could realistically do this late in the window. Completely flopped at Juve so expecting a Saul 2.0

Going to be a long and frustrating season in midfield.
