That does t make him a bad footballer he just needs to play in a team that keeps possession in and around. The opposition box for longer periods and is no higher than championship standard - eventually he’d relax and get goals.

Some players and their bodies cannot live with the pace and physicality of the Premiership look at Defour ( who was a class footballer ) but the league stopped him in his tracks - sadly.
