it's an immense gamble as he's a tiny scrawny lad. We'd be hoping for him to become Santi 2.0. I'm not getting my hopes up there, although to be honest I wasn't getting my hopes up about Santi either.
Whatever the case his #10-role stats are through the roof.
Look at that bottom right chart, it's a bit mad:
it's based on a sample size of 15 starts in the first team, which adds even more to the risk factor. could be a vlahovic-style hot streak. like I said, hopefully we've just got in on the ground floor of what will be a meteoric development curve
it all depends how he's deployed. if he's the advanced 8 on the left displacing xhaka, then fine. if tielemans is also coming in, and vieira is a versatile floater that will play anywhere in attacking midfield as needed, that's OK as well I suppose
