Is he good?

Good in one league does not necessarily mean he can succeed in the BPL. The French league is more technical & flowing artistry type of football rather than the rough and physical style of the BPL. But if he can withstand the physicality of the BPL.... we have a potential "Thierry Henry".
He is fast, strong in the air, can score with both feet and dribbles well.
However if Liverpool does buy him.... I forsee 1 of the following will have to leave.
M Salah
S Mane
R Firmino
B Woodward
R Brewster
A Lallana
X Shaqiri
D Origi
A Chamberlain
My guess is Lallana as his body is constitutionally too weak for Liverpool's high tempo style of play...... thus high risk of injuries occuring again & again.
