The lad is a unit. He is holding off experienced pros aged 17 and clearly knows where the net is.

CHDAJFU at 9 when we're up against it and need an out ball?

Quality signing - well done to the recruitment team: If you can't buy a ready made £30m talisman striker maybe you can grow your own?!

The final piece of the jigsaw 👍👍👍

His 2 min interview on the app/club website is worth a watch; a huge, mature kid who speaks well and seems to have his head screwed on

I voted it a 7/10 window earlier, but seeing this lad I might be tempted to upgrade that to an 8

Southampton Academy is so back 😁

He played for Andy Crosby at Port Vale, which is a nice little link to our past.

I had to reload it to try to get it to play

Club have pretty much ditched YouTube, which blows goats because the only thing more frustrating and buggy than the videos on the club website are the videos on the hopeless app!

The commentary on that goal made me laugh. Got to be a legendary chant to be had for this kid.

A mixture of supportive posts and vaguely negative ones. They seem pleased we got him. No one seems to think he's a knob.

Signed a 3 year contract in July and then a month later signs with us. Not clear what we paid, but based on the SAA & Meghoma deal with Spurs this looks like potentially sound business. If he had already signed a 3 year deal you would hope he has 3 or more years contracted with us.

They think he might be a Championship starting striker by next season.

Seems to have some good technical ability and close control.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Why not? If he develops into another player of Dibling class the future looks bright.

He’s still going apparently, must have been head south 😃
