I think it will be a very speedy ascendancy into the first XI tbh.

Won't get the G/As of Madders necessarily (though we haven't seen much of that for a while) but he's already more of a presence in the midfield. He's sort of a hybrid of an 8 and a 10.

Gets stuck in and can drive up the pitch. Bags of technical ability too. What's not to love?
 
Very good but he tired towards the end.
He is only 18 but he physically matched older players.
He won't be starting games for a while but what a talent we have.

He looks like possibly our best CM already. I'd feel confident starting him right now against pretty much anyone- he should be good for at least 70 mins or so. He's already excellent competition for Maddison in that CAM type role, but seems to offer a lot more size and physicality. If Bentancur and Bissouma were on form they'd be ahead of him as he is right now, but they are not.

Agree 100%. Really nice hybrid 8-10 skills. Great size and physicality.

Yeah it will be interesting to see where he ultimately gets minutes and which role he makes his own.

What I will say is it feels like we are light years away from the dark days of Winksokko and later Hojberg and Skipp etc.

Biss, Bergvall, Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison, Gray, Devine is lovely depth.
 
Was genuinely impressive against what I thought was an overly physical Bayern

They were fast and aggressive… he took it in his stride and played some great stuff

I'm absolutely shocked that this kid seems to have almost everything that he needs to be contributing to our PL season from day 1, if not even ready to take a starting role. He will of course make some mistakes as his playstyle is extremely touch heavy and a bit on the riskier side, but he seemingly doesn't shy away and has the confidence to make it work.

I thought he would be a very marginal factor this year, but he very well could have a big part to play. Great scouting.
 
He’s got the classic ‘will start first few Europa League games before being too good to drop from Premier League’ vibes about him.

Can see him being played in a similar role as Ange played O’Riley whilst at Celtic.

Very exciting. On form, a Bissouma, Bergvall and Maddison midfield would be sexy as.
