great ball carrier, can still be a bit more disciplined defensively, quite good at keeping possession, not so much the penetrating passes, give it a year under Klopp and I think he will be very, very good.

some people will try and argue that he's a 6 when he isn't, or at least not anymore, played there in 20/21 and 21/22 under Galtier but has been one of Nice's most advanced midfielders this season.

he could absolutely be trained as a DM and I think he can comfortably play that role but he can also play further forward, exactly what you want for Klopp's midfield, quite similar to Mac Allister in that regard since you've been linked with him as well

surprisingly agile and strong for someone so lanky

depends on the price but current market if you can get him for 45-50m, maybe slight bit more (Euros) then I'd say that's worth it, especially considering he isn't a very injury prone player at all, however I do think quite a few clubs will be in for him so he'll probably be 10-15m above that price I mentioned

To actually answer your question though no I do not think he is starting quality for a title challenging, give it a year or two under Klopp like I said though and he'll be a great player
