Asked about the player, Howe said: 'Let's wait and see what happens today. He's a player that I like, very versatile, really good potential.' Asked further if the move would be on a loan basis after admitting last week that the club would have to be 'creative' in following up summer swoops for Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes and Tino Livramento, Howe added: 'Yes, I think it is, yes.' Howe also confirmed that completion of the deal would effectively bring an end to the club's incoming transfer business. He said: 'I think if we were able to bring a player in, that would be our transfer business concluded unless there were injuries within our own players.'
