Perhaps I'm over-optimistic (or stupid), but I'm quite confident that he'd do well as the second choice left back as it stands. Physically he seemed capable, had a nice technique to him, the only question mark is what happens when he inevitably makes a costly mistake (I don't see how you can avoid it as a young defender), does he pick himself up or will his confidence be ruined.
No, an 18 year old who has never made an appearance in competitive senior football is not better than an established Premier League starter and England international.
Give the lad time. A cameo or two in the cup games and potentially a loan to a lower division (he may still be too young even for that) will do him good.
Tricky little player he’s going to be alright I reckon .
Good luck to him, hopefully lifting trophies with Skipp, Winks, Tanganga and Kane soon

He would make our 5th academy player in these senior set up if all goes well after a year.
Some of us like the idea of that.
He plays where he wants,
he plays where he wants,
Ooooooh Dennie Cirkin,
He plays where he wants
At the moment but who knows in 12/24 months. Poor move.
Makes no sense to me. Sure, he has a few ahead of him, but Davies should be gone soon and the other two are not yet proven as high level PL fullbacks. If there's a low buyback clause then it makes a lot of sense, otherwise I'll be very unhappy with this.
I don't begrudge anyone with such hunger... Too many young players prepared to cruise, knowing that once they've bag that pro-deal at a big club they're virtually set for life.
Good luck to him, how refreshing to see a young player willing to move down a couple of leagues to ensure regular playing time in competitive matches.
Turned 21 earlier this month - has had a season at League 1 with Sunderland and as they were promoted last season has had this season in Championship.
Plays both as LCB and LB, so a replacement for Davies whose contract runs to 2025 and turns 30 tomorrow. And would qualify as a Club trained player of which we are short.
Would possibly benefit from another season in Championship to get more experience, but otherwise think he'd do better than Sessegnon, who continues to disappoint, as an alternate to Destiny Udogie who joins this summer.

He's young enough that he can still develop more athleticism, but I'm not sure he's quite there yet physically. Might get the odd game this season but think he'll be much more ready in a year or two.
"Marcelo, fetch your bucket and let's watch this kid sleep"He can play LB and CB, very decent left foot, rarely uses his right but he's a lot better on his weaker foot than most. Gets up and down the left flank with a reasonable turn of speed, decent defender and decent attacker, not sure he's been tested recently as an out and out LWB - I'm sure he could cope but probably better as a LB ?
