Apparently United's scouting team have him as our number one midfield target according to a transfer exclusive on the UnitedView.
Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, he's young and his athleticism is needed to partner Kobbie, who's still growing into his body and, his height and physicality is also needed with again, Kobbie and more importantly Licha as one of our centre backs. He'll improve us immensely in games against the likes of Newcastle, where we always get physically dominated. Tackling wise, he's like the midfield AWB.
On the other hand, not sure if it's because of Everton or not, but I don't think he's polished enough technically. This showing particularly when he attempts defence splitting passes or long shots. Just feels like we should be able to find someone with his physically but also technically better. On top of all this, he won't be cheap.
Of course this maybe pointless if the new director to football and head of recruitment comes in and decides to go down a different route.
