Few of my mates who support Forest/Derby have been raving about this lad.
Still only 20, spent last season on loan at Lincoln, returned this year and broke into the first team and has made a big impact.
There has been plenty of speculation linking him to various Premier League teams, including Newcastle.
I have only seen a small handful of full games (I watch Forest occasionally as I was born in Nottingham) but he looks very technically proficient, quick, direct and has a good eye for goal cutting-in from wide areas.
Price tag has been advertised by the media at about £25m. Would he be worth a gamble?
Personally, I see signings like this as fairly low-risk. We could see how he gets on for a season and I am sure the worst we would do is get our money back if he can't quite make the step-up.
Again though, I'm not claiming to be some sort of expert on him - has anybody watched him extensively and if so, any strong opinions?
