That is where I think he is right now. Saturday was potentially massive for him though. If he can produce that kind of grit then we have a great winger option on the right. Not yet at the level needed for starting XI title contender team, but getting there. Still think we need a Neto or similar in place of possibly Kulu (unless Kulu is kept as a utility player, which isn't a bad shout).

How he came on and played is what I’ve wanted from him since he joined. Aggressive on and off the ball and wanting to influence the game. Him coming on probably won us the game.
More than you clearly think he has.
He's young and he's improving, so here's an idea...I'll grab you a spoon and you can eat my ass
Aggression is the key word here and you’re exactly right. He’s not the most skilful guy so I don’t think he’ll win fans over, but when he is direct and forcing the issues he will get the bounces.
3 goals and 6 assists in 13 starts and 7 substitute appearances for us - 1300 odd minutes of football.
If you look at others who have played similar time he is in the top 5 for both expected goals and assists when on the pitch.
No less than Kulusevski. In less minutes.
As has already been said, he has so much he needs to improve on. But the raw potential is there. We only have to look back at how Gareth Bale and Harry Kane were at the same age, neither were anything like the player they became. Keep improving, keep contributing, and who knows the kind of player he may be down the line. At the absolute minimum he will be extremely useful. He's already that.
Best game yet imo. His potential is scary, despite clearly nowhere near finished product he regularly gets goals and assists.
Some of the posts dismissing him are embarrasssing considering his age and where he is at development wise

Developing well, he has a very high ceiling as a footballer. And he’s nowhere near it yet.
ah look another good game.
He was great today tbh.
Really wanted to take his man on all game, worked tirelessly defensively (which has been a criticism) and outside of VDV probably our best player in the first half. Glad he got his goal, very well taken.

A lot of embarrassing takes from « fans ».
Getting better and better. Now playing like he believes he belongs, and with just that little bit more aggression..
