| Think he needs to be around the first team Stand out player technically in the academy, his free kicks are better than anyone else in our squad. Can you imagine the amount of free kicks Eze, Olise and Zaha could win us next season. We need to take advantage. Maddison and Ward Prowse are the role models Easy for teams in our situation not to be proactive with academy players. Very nearly lost Wan bissaka to Coventry before he kicked a ball for us

| Agree with you 100 percent , he is a stand out player in the U 23s and an excellent free kick taker . Id say he will have a look at him in pre seasons .

| His set pieces aside, I haven't been over impressed with him. His all round game needs vast improvement. I don't think he's a candidate for first team football at the moment but happy to be proved wrong,

| Better than Eze, Olise or Zaha? Thats who he has to replace to get in the first team.

| As with Eduoard he could benefit from the 5 subs rule coming into effect. We need a bench offering different options for different situations and unlike some clubs we can't fill it with £50m + players.

| Trust in Pat and especially Said Aigoun. It's his job to transition players.

I don’t watch live games but going by highlights he can score from open play and free kicks. Only way to tell how good he is when given opportunity to play at higher level - with better players. But having a free kick like he does is a big asset in the modern game
