Westerlo have rejected a 2.5mil euro offer from us for Bryan Reynolds. Also read an article we're interested in Blackburn RB Ryan Alebiosu, 24yr old Nigerian valued at 5mil. He's rapid! Recorded speeds of just under 23mph! That's elite sprinter levels?.

Does anyone who follows the Belgian league have insight into the profile of Bryan Reynolds?
6 foot 3, which aligns with our targeting of more robust players, but technically is he a Tav-esque RB or more defensive focused?

Will his defensive numbers look quite poor, to be honest, but his dribbling and speed are really good.

I did the usual YouTube on Reynolds. It's mostly all his dribbling and deliveries. From that standpoint, he looks very good, with great pace. I would like us to sign 2 rbs with slightly differing strengths, if possible, if Sterling is moving on.

So AyrshireMurphy, if we do indeed sign both right backs Bryan Reynolds and Ryan Alebiosu,
who would be our first choice right back between the two? . ???

Will, I think Bryan Reynolds is a bit of both, mate. ? His style is a bit of Tav and a bit of Sterling, I believe. ?

Cheers Ayrshiremurph. And agree, Coully, a Whittaker/Broadfoot dovetail (strengths/abilities wise) set up would be good. Incredibly unlikely we'll be able to get someone who excels in all aspects.

SWS, I'd say it would depend on the opponent to be honest. I'd say in Europe or Old Firms you want some defensive stability, so Alebiosu would be the preference out the two. Low blocks or compact defenses, probably Reynolds, because of his ability to beat a man, but overall I'd probably say Alebiosu, but I think a lot will look on him poorly due to loans at Killie and St Mirren that wouldn't be viewed as "successful" loans.

Both are well over 6foot, fast and athletic. ???
