Then again we are in the era of the so-called 'wide forward' (See "winger")....

(Peak) Dele, Eriksen, Foden, Grealish etc. etc..... None particularly quick.

The amount of parked buses the top teams face; guile and intelligence is often the more useful asset.

Most of these played predominantly centrally. Foden is rapid as well btw, deceptively so. Grealish isn’t a sprinter but has a burst of pace and elite dribbling.

Most of the wide forwards in the world are quick, agile and tricky. Vinicius, Mane, Salah, Sane etc. Kulu is clever and makes it work out wide but that slight lack of acceleration and agility does cost him at times in wide areas.

Yeah, he struggles to dribble his way out when marshalled against the touchline like Liverpool did on the weekend.

He regularly was the outball, but he'd quickly have one behind, one to the side and one front, and be unable to squeeze past. Son often does better in those kinds of situations, cos of that burst of pace which allows him to kick and rush.
 
A lot of wingers have pace and flair and have a shit end product so nobody talk to me about pace and flair thanks Kulu is wicked with a football at his feet
It's a choice between one or the other. Ideally you'd have both. End product certainly preferable, but it's pretty easy to see that his lack of agility/dribbling is a limiting factor.
