For us to have a 6th choice AM/winger as an academy kid is perfect. It’s basically taking Nkoudou squad place. He probably wouldn’t play too much bit like KWP situation. I’d like to see him given a chance. But can also understand how another year on loan may benefit him. Personally think the championship would be better for him and toughen him up a bit and see if he can handle the physicality which will always be a question mark given his size. But I definitely think he is the kind of player that would flourish around better players.
How would it be any good for his development to come back and get N'Koudou's money. Plus as I said above we would not even come close to giving him a chance unless he signed a new contract. At this point if I were him I would just run the contract down. If you sign a contract for N'Koudou minutes you need your head checking.
I also don't see what toughening him up in the Championship will do. If he plays for us he will be playing in the PL, where it isn't as rough and tumble. It's like telling, Robben, Messi and all these small dribblers when they were 17 you will never make it unless experience getting the shit kicked out of you and experience the ball flying over your head every two seconds.
