"Cardiff are in pole position and preparing a bid for the player."

No more than anyone else really, but I've looked at comments and clips about his career so far and I'm quite impressed . He seems to be consistent and well thought of by various knowledgeable people in France, and it's been claimed there that Mehmet has had his eye on the player for a long time.
We can see that he can perform at a high level so we wouldn't be gambling that he can step up and my overall impression is that he's got real quality which would be good enough to impress in the Premiership. Of course, I'm only stating my own opinion like anyone else .

Mehemt doesn’t scout our targets

Mehemt doesn’t scout our targets

I think you'll find that he takes a very active part in that. He watched a lot of players in France for us last year including Emiliano Sala. Obviously Sir Neil has the final say but I think Mehmet hasn't just pursued the manager's nominations but made a few of his own.
Remember he's in a position to talk money with players and clubs and so he's got a role in the process.
