I’ve always been a big fan of Ivanovic and the Russian league is a decent standard so he could probably still do a job, but it is a bit weird that we would sign a right back when it’s a left back that we are crying out for. O’Shea and Furlong are decent right backs already.
Maybe Ivanovic gives O Shea the opportunity to play centre half, or maybe Bilic wants to consider 3 at the back, with Diangana as a left wing back?
That’s if this is true of course.
