    Just a rumour but looks the sort of deal WFC look for under Gino.

    Reyes is currently a free agent after being released by Porto.

    A centre-back, 6' 2" and only 25.

    Plenty of clubs interested, obviously, but according to the piece below we have made contact.

    https://www.express.co.uk/sport/foo...Brighton-Premier-League-Diego-Reyes-EXCLUSIVE

    DIEGO REYES has held talks with four Premier League clubs as he decides his next career move.

    The free agent has attracted a wealth of interest after being released by Porto earlier this summer.
    Despite missing out on a place in Mexico's World Cup squad through a hamstring injury, Reyes has been busy in recent weeks, holding discussions with a number of clubs across Europe.

    Newcastle and West Ham were said to be heavily interested in the player last week.

    And Express Sport can reveal they are just two Premier League sides to have held positive talks with Reyes over the last few days.
    Two previously unnamed sides, Brighton and Watford, have also discussed terms with the 25-year-old, who is currently mulling over his next career move.

    La Liga duo Real Betis and Sevilla have both have both expressed an interest in Reyes since his Porto exit, while Espanyol are mulling over a deal should they offload a centre-back of their own.

    Express Sport also understands the player will make a decision over his future this week.

    Express is the worst of all the rags. Also any article that links to four different clubs to get the maximum number of clicks.

    File under rubbish.

    Appears to have a good track record and pedigree, though it then begs the question as to why he's leaving Porto on a free?!

    Also, supposedly Newcastle are closest to signing him.

    Is that likely with Fat Bloke and The Wine Waiter at loggerheads?

    Not linked to a superagent. Its a no from me
     
  14. Could well turn out to be like Layun - arrive on a free, score against Everton, then shoot off overseas giving the club a nice little profit by doing so.

    I say sign him - the quicker the better.

    Well a few clubs in Italy are eyeing Britos. So people's dreams may come true. 6-2 is that the tallest Mexican ever?

    As his former team mate - do you think that Layun would recommend us to him?

    Personally I think he would.

    So why did he barely play for Porto, who kept loaning him out ? Porto reserves, Real Sociedad and espanyol isn't a great CV but more importantly he is free......

    It’s a better CV than Britos who is eternally suspended at all his clubs or Kaboul who is eternally crumbling at all his clubs.

    Porto have other good defenders and maybe his face didn’t fit. 53 caps for Mexico at the age of 25 suggests he has some talent.

    Is it too much to ask ?

    Unhelpfully, the caption doesn’t tell us which one he is in the photo.

    A tribute to a caption in the Guinness Book of Records referring to the tallest man who ever lived, the 8’11’ Robert Wadlow.

    ‘Wadlow, in glasses, ...’
