Absolute masterclass from him yesterday.

I'd not seen him before but after that performance I can only say I am extremely excited. Reminds me a little bit of Foden and McAtee when they were in the EDS. Left footed, extremely technical, a clear eye for goal.

Definitely one to keep an eye on IMO.

At one time, he was the absolute stand-out in his age group. I don't think that is still the case but player development is not a linear process, with many peaks and troughs as the equation of physical/mental/technical development shifts. I am looking forward to seeing him and his fellow U18 players through the season: we are blessed with talented youth and Ben Wilkinson is a very highly-rated coach.

I think he was pretty much out for 2 years from 14-16 with serious knee injuries which probably set his development back a lot

Is that what it was, I was guessing the suspension of youth football due to Covid. Good to see he's still progressing then.

If that's true it's incredibly impressive to see him bounce back to playing so well for an elite academy.
 
Part of a very good U10s team from 7 years back. He's the number 8.

I presumed the same. Rightly, we don't hear about the younger age groups in the same way.
