Would go with Zirkzee for this. He looked really special early in his career and I think he'll be great for us in time.
That's a reasonable thing to think. I also wonder why Bayern sold him.
But at least he has had spells at Ajax, Juventus and Bayern where he was top class, if not always consistently. I've seen him in games for all three clubs where he's been absolutely magnificent. There's a reason why nearly 70 000 Bayern fans signed a petition to keep him. He was also probably one of their most sellable assets to accrue some funds. So the reason he was sold could be financially motivated.
So by that logic, it feels like the safest bet to make out of all our new signings, which is your premise.
Yoro isn't a safe bet. But if he realizes his potential - which again, most players don't, not even the biggest talents - then that is a massive payoff. The list of amazing talents that never hit their potential due to either arrested development or injury is ridiculously long. Even within our own academy, not to mention the rest of the world.
So if the premise was who would I take a risky bet on, it would probably be Yoro (or Mazraoui, tbf, I think he looks outstanding).
