Dalot has been plagued with injuries for most of his two years at the club. His whole demeanour and body language suggests his confidence is shot as well.
We shouldn’t forget he had just turned 19 when he came here and at 21, is still one of the youngest members of the first team squad (he’s only 9 months older than Chong and is a year younger than TFM).
A move to a foreign country, a different culture and language and away from your family can be difficult at the best of times, especially at a young age.
It doesn’t matter how good a young player is, some will cope with it better than others. I strongly suspect Dalot is one of those who has found it quite difficult to settle here and fit in.
There’s still loads of time to turn it around and nurture this player, if he wants to stay and Ole wants to keep him. I’d rather take that chance, rather than hanging onto 27 and 28 year old never-have-beens like Lingard or Jones.
