I was wondering who that was! Willock doesn’t look amazing but if he can fill out he can turn into a Dembele like midfielder. Already quite strong despite his slender frame.
Willock is better technically than he's shown. I really think he's still getting used to his body. The amount he has grown in the last 2 or 3 years is unreal.
I still can't believe that at 16 he looked like this:

Now at 18!
I watched him terrorising Scotland in the Victory Shield - he was half the size of the rest of the team, nippy little kid twisting and turning through challenges and with noticeably better touch and technique than the other England players. Scored a superb goal that way.
Now he's moved into centre midfield and is 6'2", possibly 6'3". That's got to take some serious adjustment. And he's been playing in his new role less than a year. Always had an outstanding right foot, very good close control and a great burst of pace. I'm interested to see how he develops as he continues to fill out that frame.
