“Carrasco and James have both been viewed for that role. Adama (Traore) has been too.”

Both Carrasco and James are excellent options for that role. The former arguably provides a similar balance to what Perisic does on the opposite flank, which makes him a very smart option.
However, if we had to choose, we’d go with Traore, who has been .
