Yeah I think it's important to note that he probably won't reach that level - but more that he has all the attributes that Robben did essentially. He's a hard worker, quick, great close control, capable of the cut in shot, good crosser, great dribbler... Putting it together, consistently, adapting to a league like the premier league is what the question mark is for any young player. But if we're looking at raw attributes, I'd say he has all the things required to be world class.
Like Gakpo currently has been a better player. But you look at his qualities, they just don't have the same potential ceiling. Not many players have the range of qualities Antony has as a left footed right winger. Salah was one (with more pace of course), who was inconsistent as hell until Liverpool signed him. But all the raw attributes were always there. Raphinha is probably another, but one who is 4 years older and doesn't have quite the same level of technique (and there hasn't been a clear Brazil starter between them if I recall correctly?). So you improve the technique on Raphinha, make him 4 years younger, and have the previous experience with Ten Hag... I'm all for it. Overpay, but what other right winger is out there?
