Decent player, depends what a "big offer" means though as he's quite similar to Mangala in the way he plays. Maybe slightly more dynamic but less calm on the ball/at finding a pass - but nowhere near as dynamic as say Danilo.

So, we don't "need" him - we're well stocked for that sort of midfielder, but he's only 20 and could be a long term prospect, but there's no point paying big big money for him. Anything larger than seven figures is not worth it for us, and even that is pushing it.

at 20, young and english, and still learning , and boro in the championship can't be demanding excessive amount for him.

That's precisely why teams can demand big money.

See Brennan Johnson last year, we rejected £20m+ in the Championship.

difference is johno proved himself at league 1, then prove himself in the championship, this lad went on loan at scunthorpe , was unremarkable and the team was relegated to non league , came back and was not picked by wilder until boro changed manager. very different situation , i can't imagine boro demanding 20 million after less than 1 season.

I’ve seen him live thrice this season and he’s really good - literally ran the show for Boro. He’s got one more U21 year in him too. I said elsewhere that we could swap Shelvey for him but it’s probably bollocks anyway.

But yes, absolutely would have him, especially as he’d be a free squad space.

Not seen him live but on the box and I like him a lot.

Glides through midfield, can pick a pass, gets stuck in and is big. Reminds me a bit of Ross Barkley when he first came on the scene or even a similar skill set to Jude Bellingham. (Not comparing level before anyone jumps on that).

I would suspect it was what we were hoping to get from Lewis O’Brien but he didn’t have the physicality we ended up requiring. On that note I could see him potentially being a makeweight in any potential deal
