After beforehand crediting the function of his workers for getting the Frenchman on the pitch so usually, it’s nice to additionally see the temperament and efficiency stage of our No.5 equally praised right here.
Arne Slot is clearly a large fan of Ibou Konate
With Jarrel Quansah getting the nod in the beginning of the season, it was very clear that our new head coach had the academy graduate because the No.2 centre again behind Virgil van Dijk.
Nevertheless, a half time substitute at Ipswich has switched the fortunes of each males and now the person who captained France on this final worldwide break may be very a lot a agency fixture of our aspect.
With such a stern defence in place, it’s inconceivable to not be impressed with the latest performances of the 25-year-old who has solid a formidable partnership with our captain.

Let’s hope that this may proceed for lots extra weeks and months of this season.
