He's an insanely talented young player. I hope he's our #1 priority, because he's exactly what we need. Think Jorginho, but younger and a much greater ability to lose his defender. Just checkout the trusty ol' youtube compilation (be sure to mute):
HIs dribbling ability would cause teams all kinds of problems vs us. Once he beats a man, someone else would have to press him, leaving Kev/Dave/Bernie/Raheem wide open. Good news is that he didn't grow up in the Ajax academy, so he shouldn't have much loyalty to them.
