Spoke to someone at my work about him earlier, he watches a lot of Italian football as follows Juve, said this guy is fast and can dribble with the ball very well.

Not much else I can add.

Seems to have good close control. From the YouTube clip, it’s like someone cloned Lamela and then mirrored him so he used his right foot instead of his left... they’ve even got the same dodgy choice of barber by the look of things.

The video above would suggest he's a playmaker type midfielder. A few nice feints and turns to get away from opponents. Almost Dembele-style, dare I say...

He does appear to have a wand for a right boot, but it's worth remembering he will need to use it more quickly in the Premier League due to the relative pace of the game compared to Serie A.

In May 1977, Lynsey de Paul came a creditable second when she sang 'Rock Bottom' at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Also in May 1977, Tottenham sadly came a less than creditable twenty-second in the league. Consequently, we finished 'Rock Bottom' and were relegated.

Now I'm not for a moment suggesting that if Ms De Paul had sung a ditty called 'comfortably mid-table', we'd have been all right that year, but, somehow, in the deep recesses of my brain, the 8 year-old me still blames her for our fate and I have cursed the De Paul name ever since.

So it's a 'no' from me...

Your mate follows juveniles? You need to get that reported ASAP.

He wouldn't replace Eriksen but he would help fill a void, even if he is pretty one footed. Looks comfy in central areas (based purely around the video)
