I think this lad has outstanding potential. I think he's got most of the boxes ticked for what we need in a wing-back under Brendan's preferred formations.
If we're moving towards having a target man too then that will just enhance this lad's claims. He can cross a ball, I've been very encouraged at how he picks out a player rather than zone passes. I can see this lad going on to be an assist king, his defending needs sharpening a touch but it's way ahead of most of our wing-backs, clearly he struggles at back post big men though but that's something his CBs should be looking out for too anyway.
He's come in for quite a bit of negativity, where at his age, settling in to a new country/team-mates I have been very, very impressed. I'd have absolutely no problem putting my faith in this lad to progress and be our number one RB for many, many years.
