Incoming? Étienne Kinkoué

[Reedy1889]

@FabrizioRomano

French defender Étienne Kinkoué can leave Le Havre as current deal expires in June 2026.

Price tag around €5m as player wants to take the next step and Le Havre need sales as Burnley, Sheffield Utd and FC Köln show concrete interest.

6’5” French CB

Scored 1 goal in 80 appearances. CBS should be getting 3/4 a season

 

[YES Blade]

Doesn’t seem likely if Burnley and Koln are also interested

Here's the actual tweet



He never seems to be right with us

Please let this one happen!!

Hardly the priority in that position though is it. I always think stats sites should rank defenders by goals conceded while they're on the pitch.

Thats what im talking about!!!

 

[Rodley]

May as well call off the hunt if a PL club is also interested.

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Serving advance notice that I will be referring to him as Kinky Steve if this one comes off

Kinky and Anel keeping it tight at the back

Or even by goals conceded when they're off the pitch...

But is he hungry enough?

I wonder if we’ll just drop the whole obsessive compulsive approach that saw us have to have a left and right footed centre backs when the population demographic suggests it’s far more likely to have two right footers anyway.

Helped gain Le Havre promotion and they managed to say in Ligue 1 last season by 1 point.
Right footed.
Average rating of 6/7/10 (ranks 131/164 defenders in Ligue 1 - Unsurprising with a team fighting relegation).
5 yellow cards and 1 red last season (conceded 2 penalties)
4 clean sheets in 28 games. 1.75 goals conceded in 28 games per 90 mins.
1 French national cap for the first team in a friendly in 2024.
Tall as fuck.

What about having two left footers?

It's not 1930s Glasgow, we don't recruit based on religion

No they shouldn't I got one in 8 seasons and that was a Peter kay clearance from 10 yards inside our half.

Hope he doesn't get as hungry as the last French player we signed

Hard to believe we'd attract a young defender that's been capped for France. Even if a meaningless friendly.

Word on the street is Wilder was planning on signing him only to leave him on the bench all season while Robinson starts every game.
