He's not much younger than Walcott or OXC were when arriving to Arsenal and they were paid much more. And there are probably many more similar examples..
If he's such talent as it looks he is, that's not big money at all to risk. It's money in range of Sinclair's transfer fee and Sunderland paid more for Johnson.
I'd rather pay that money for talent who is supposed to be big deal than for any of those two (Sinclair and Johnson) who'll never be more than average players.
Imagine missing Messi, Ronaldo or some other world class player because it was crazy to pay 8 millions EUR for them because they were only 16. Would be crazy, wouldn't it?
Not saying he's gonna be like Messi but he's obviously very highly rated and that could be pocket money if he fulfills his supposed potential.
