He would start for everyone except of Ndombele when fit. Hojbjerg, Ndom, Sabitzer would be insane

This man over eriksen 100%, we need another creative/attacking midfielder to rotate with Lo Celso and Tanguy
— Charlie Sanders (@CSand3rs)
He’s a Sissoko upgrade

Fantastic player. The kind that would thrive under Mourinho!
— Vela (@AnirudhVelamuri)
He would walk into our team. He’s the complete midfielder, gets up and down, can defend, can assist, scores goals & captain material. Would be perfect for the PL, once Chelsea don’t get him 🤣🤣

I REALLY like Sabitzer! He’s a complete midfielder in my mind… just not sure we have the room to get him in our starting 11.
