He’s a Toon fan despite being born in Slough, going to a private school in Ascot and playing for Chelsea since he was 7 or 8. Apparently the Newcastle link is through his dad who was brought up in the North East.

From the bits and pieces I’ve seen of him he looks an extremely talented player with huge potential. Great first touch, killer crossing ability and has the pace and power to excel in our high energy style of play. This would be a coup and another statement signing, for me.
