This is backed up by a decent enough performance in the one league game he started. For someone like him getting the ball early is key in order for him to avoid the physical battle, Partey, White and Xhaka are much better able to do that compared to Holding, Cedric, Elneny and Sambi. That's ignoring intangibles like developing an understanding of his teammates and his role.
He's got way too much quality in that left foot of his to write off this early. Will require patience but he'll come good I reckon.
