“His final ball, I said that’s the thing with young wingers, they’re up and down with their final delivery, can they score more goals?

“He always keeps you interested because he can go both ways, he can dribble, he can pass and run, so he can penetrate behind.
His fitness also, end of last season, beginning of last season, he was struggling, he was coming off after 60-70 minutes.
“But now his fitness is getting better and he’s a threat, he’s a threat every time he gets the ball.
“And also when he loses the ball he doesn’t sulk, he wins it back quickly, which all wingers should do really.”
