Journalist Dean Jones recently shared his assessment of Romain Faivre, Lyon’s coveted winger that Crystal Palace and Everton are reportedly keen on signing.
Jones acknowledged Faivre as a player of considerable skill and stated that he would be a valuable addition to the team. Describing Faivre’s style of play, Jones praised his confidence and decision-making abilities, emphasising the French midfielder’s “cheekiness.”
“I think he’s a good level of player to be looking at. He’s very confident on the ball. He’s very confident in his decision-making. He’s got a bit of cheekiness about him too,” Jones told GiveMesport.
According to Jones, Faivre’s confidence on the ball is evident, and he displays a remarkable level of self-assurance when making crucial decisions during matches. This self-belief seems to be accompanied by a touch of audacity, which Jones referred to as “cheekiness.” It implies a certain boldness and willingness to take risks, adding an exciting dimension to Faivre’s game.
The wide-man, who spent last season out on loan at FC Lorient, has three years left on his deal with Lyon and is valued at a modest £10m.
