Would have watched that and be relishing to get on the pitch, today was a perfect example of a profile and a star boy we've been missing.
 
being neutral, is he actually any good?

Always a bit skeptical of former “kid stars” who go through the barca system only to get moved on from Barca at the drop of a hat and then from PSG in what would have been his time to shine at 20-21. If he was that good, why didnt they keep him?

Gives me Dos Santos vibes slightly. Just asking questions.

From my understanding, that was all Raola (the agent's) doing. Engineered his move from barca to psg to get into the first team, despite pochettino not wanting a teen and despite him not being ready.

Raola passed away and hes since made sensible choices, basically proving himself one league at a time and improving (psv then Bundesliga). Now EPL.

I suspect he'll need a season at least to really shine, but he'll show signs of true brilliance this season at times.

I suspect he got a good head on his shoulders once that snake raola moved on.
