What a monster of a player he looks to already be. Only 20 years old too. Has he always been this good?

Surely he's onto bigger things if he carries on like this. He's singlehandedly nullified out attack today.

Always? He's done well in the 54 minutes of this one game, never heard of him before then.

He is talented, but unexperienced. Potential is there

Will be good to see him against someone who aren’t Elanga and Rashford. Against a half decent attacker he does not have a chance of the tackle he made on Elanga

I've rated him for a while. He'll have good and bad days but difference between him and Bednarek is night and day.

Palace were linked with him a couple of years ago when he was playing in 2. Bundesliga - imagine they'll be kicking themselves for not signing him then.

Let's see how he does up against more threatening attackers. A traffic cone would look like peak Baresi against Elanga and Rashford.

First I've heard of him. Has had a very good game today. One for the future perhaps

Looks good but he didn’t have much of a challenge today to be honest. Played into his hands without an actual striker.

Early shout to be the next 60 odd million pound CB to make the step up in 18-24 months

Yeah looks quality. Strong and fast. Also impressed with Lavia again, he looks a solid buy as well

Physically powerful and always had strong defensive actions. His weaknesses in Bochum were mostly tactical issues, sometimes a lack of awareness I think, so stuff that he can learn and if he does he will become a great CB.

Really impressed by his performance, only 20 as well. Definitely one to look at, seems a gem. Southampton bought only for 10M which is impressive really.

I came here looking for this thread. He looks great didn't he? Probably a bit raw but he seemed to have it all, technical ability, pace, strength and he read some plays really well. One to keep an eye on.

Not impressed by any of them, all pointless with zero end product

Ward Prowse the only one very good player they have

Looked decent. Surprised Leicester didn't discover him, would've been perfect.

Meh, don't think playing against our useless bunch is a good way to judge a player. Even relegation sides have done well against our lot.
