he's not somebody I'm familiar with..

A similar situation here but I'm actually basing on some of his stunning performances I witnessed. He's not a very outstanding player but he's pretty good at what he does.

Do you watch quite a lot of French football for your selections to be in Ligue 1?

Rarely.... I have one of these phone apps that show player ratings after every match. I follow Alex Djiku and I get notified about his performances after every game, sometimes I watch his highlights too and I think he's impressive👏.
