Not had a touch so far, worrying.
 
Straight into the first team squad apparently

He must be very highly rated. I’m all for signing young talent so it’s pretty exciting
 
So as a left footer he will be a cover for Martinez. How is his passing?
 
He will probably need to step in soon since we brought him as a back up for Martinez as a left footer, baptism of fire.

From what ive seen of him in highlights and playing against us in preseason, long passing and bringing the ball out of defence with a dribble and feinting his way past players would be his strength. And hes quite tall

Actual defending, making tackles and not being lightweight... Look like weak areas
 
Shaw is nearly back to fitness- though how long he remains fit is another matter. I see him starting that LCB role.

Now that Licha is injured, we more or less have 4 reliable CBs for 3 positions (including Mazraoui, who is also used at RWB). As such, both Shaw and Heaven may get enough minutes if fit
 
Know it's only a YouTube compilation but looks like he can finish better than our strikers
 
Curious that he was supposedly signed as a first-team player but he seems nowhere near getting minutes, even in an injury crisis.

Was never going to be played ahead of Maz or De Ligt, will play when they need a rest.

He's a left footer though, the players you mentioned are right footed. On the left side of defence you'd think he'd prefer a left footed player.

He'd definitely prefer a left footer there. But regardless, Heaven won't be ahead of them in the pecking order.
 
Played the first half in a 1-0 defeat to Fulham u21s. Was booked and then subbed at half time

Expected him to play for the u21s, wasnt expecting to see him playing in the first team

Played as CB or a midfielder?

Left CB

Also he was taken off before Fulham scored the winner, but from the highlights (I didnt watch the full game) he had this tough moment in one vs one defending after Munro had been beaten before him. He's the #4 getting rounded

Looks decent! Him, Chido and Yoro were real highlights today
 
Quietly effective, one of the few positives from tonight.
 
He obviously didn't have a lot of direct involvement (obviously still has to position himself appropriately) but he did pretty well when called upon. He also looked quite quick a few times when tracking back.
 
Was solid and looked comfortable bringing the ball into midfield. Would love to see more of him during the meaningless PL games this season.
 
He'll be taller than Rio in next 2 years, I reckon. No wonder he wasn't fazed by a PL team.

Another physical presence for the future.
 
He was decent when he came on looked solid and not afraid to get forward and he was tidy with the ball.
