I'd take him the same way I would have taken Roberts a couple of seasons back.
We have no obvious wingers, especially of his calibre. Usually he's the type of player where you'd say he is the best in his age group, but that accolade could go to a few players, but if we somehow got him, I'd be sticking him in cup games,. Only issue is we have Edwards. We definitely wouldn't give both game time, we might not even give one, but can't turn down Sancho.
As others have said I suspect it's half him trying to get a new contract. Last I heard is he was being offered the biggest contract a 17 year old has ever been offered.
His only 'downside' I say that as I have seen him mature over the last year, is that he is very or overly confident in his ability borderline arrogant. He used to hold onto the ball too long, and have to beat the same person thrice over, but I really like him. Always fooling players and as I say he has matured and become more sensible and his decision making has improved. Also has a lovely curler on him from outside of the box. Not seen one posted so customary vid
