I didn't see a single match of Akanji, or even the YouTube highlights, but I'd take him instantly, knowing that the other option is Acerbi.

Once I saw a video of him counting numbers in his head like a calculator, even then I thought that's the guy I would like to see at Inter.

It's not that video, there was a big show on TV, he was really multiplying big numbers, found only this video, it's not a fake

Is Akanji fast, because we desperately need that type of player in defence?
i think his topspeed is somewhere around 33-34km/h, so for a CB i'd say yeah he's fast

Di Marzio saying Inter wanna get Akanji with the Casadei money, but they will need the ok from Zhang.

Lol

Alternative is Tanganga.

Sky also reporting Akanjis agents were in Milano.

Judging player's speed by his recorded top speed must be done carefully. It entirely depends if the player has the opportunity to run far distance unobstructed. Rano, for instance, had high top speed but can't be considered fast CB due to his titanic's turning rate and tractor's acceleration.



So Suning sign him to calculate their spiraling debts :einstein:

Faster than Bremer. Better passer too. It's his positioning and marking that's questionable. Playing alongside hummels and with no defensive cover in midfield Akanji was simple exposed. 15M is a very fair price imo.
His problem are injuries. If he stays healthy he is a good buy.

I was always fairly impressed by him when watching Switzerland; he’s a really aggressive fucker.
