i see them as versatile players and can't pin them in a position before (if) they get here.
Ziyech in his career has played twice as many times at AM than RW (i actually didn't know that, just checked) and is as effective at both positions.
Of course when he started getting international attention during a season he played more RW.
he's played over 100x at each position and delivered at both. so to me, he is a RW and an AM... not a RW who can fill in at AM.

CDK in his career played mostly at CF with some almost equal showings at the positions we talked. and it's a small sample size compared to him at CF... so i can't categorize him as better at AM than RW either...if anything we'll have to categorize him as CF given his record.

looking that the dots on those pictures, they are quite similar. Versatile Attacking players. they may have different styles but are similar to me (Ziyech got more Sauce and Flair). they're probably being considered for the same role in this team. players that fill in any position in front of the 2 DMs
and it's difficult, without context, to pinpoint where they'd be used, but in our context:
-RW and AM were our weakest positions and we should expect something there.
-we brought in an AM (Adli) ... the'res a lot to unpack here, but won't make it longer than it already is.
-the fact that we are not "linked" to any player at RW...especially of a different profile (pacy, direct as i dreamed) to me indicate that this profile, ball player, is the one they're going for.
i think RW is the more likely primary spot for them. and that said, i think there's only room for 1 of them.
Anyway, that’s how my crooked mind reads the situation.
