Mbeumo is the latest first-team regular to weigh in on Gabriel's development. In an interview with Zack En Roue Libre, via Metro Sport, Mbeumo said: "He’s strong, the little guy is strong. Yeah, he’s strong, he’s really something, frankly... I think he’s 15. You feel that he’s bound to be a little kid but he trains quite a bit with us and actually you see, you can feel that the little guy has something special."
He added that what Gabriel does feels "easy" despite not playing with his own generation: "He’s actually kind of a winger, he’s a dribbler and even in front of the box, I still think he’s good, honestly."
