I have never seen this young man play so I can’t comment on his ability. However I did read that we were very keen on him and were even in “advanced negotiations” for him. It’s a bit of a surprise to read this morning that Brighton have exercised his £10m release clause. £10m is not really much of a risk these days. We could probably sign this guy and bring him through the EDS or loan system for a couple of years. If he is good enough for the first team after that it would be a bonus. If not we flip him, probably for a tidy profit.
I wouldn't blame a player his age picking Brighton over us if first team opportunities would be limited. Not sure if that's what happened, however.I have never seen this young man play so I can’t comment on his ability.
