He mixes things up with his dribbling - reminded me of Mahrez in that sense.
In the first few minutes, he went down the line - onto his right foot - against his full back (Davis) and put a cross in with his right foot. The next time he did it (went down the line instead of inside onto his left), instead of crossing with his right, he took an extra touch and (let's face it) bought a penalty because Davis went to block the cross he'd done in the first few minutes.
That, coupled with his ability to come inside and make a nuisance wherever he decides to go with it, will cause havoc against his full back. He's not one dimensional but is careful in everything he does.
Can't wait to see him develop.
Fuckin' 20!

Really impressed with him so far. Him, Bobb, Doku and Grealish is a hell of Swiss army knife to play with.
Akanji is our Swiss army knife
He looked very quick across the ground in La liga as he seemed to get to a lot of balls where the opponent was closer to it than him, but I wasn't sure if that was just some of the lower quality teams with slow defenders, but delighted that his pace translates into the Prem.
The young talent we have is fantastic - Haaland, Foden, Savinho, Bobb, Doku, Lewis and possibly O'Reilly all have many years ahead of them to improve

Gvardiol should not be forgotten!
