He impressed a lot during his time at the Dutch league Eredivisie with his dangerous speed and ability to take the defenders head-on. But after he arrived at the Blues, his form faced some issues as he struggled to get regular game time impacted by injuries. With time he found himself on the bench for the Blues as an unused sub. But in the recent in the latter part of the season, he has come alive again under Maresca winning the UEFA European Conference League. Arsenal believes that he can develop further in their ranks which can again make him one of England’s best young wingers alongside the likes of Saka.
