lexicon Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Done and dusted, now. As someone noticed the other day, he wasn't listed as a trialist (against Wycombe, I think) so it doesn't come as a huge surprise. From what I've seen, he's a little behind some of the 18 year olds that we have (he's 19 at the time of writing) but there's clearly a lot of potential there. Think he'll benefit from a year of the academy, then maybe a loan next season depending on his progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
