Had some fantastic touches in the first half. Defnitely created the most danger. That being said his fitness is a major concern. Hopefully they just take it slow.
Dembele always went for these extensive dribblings from midfield that led to nothing. Nico seems pretty surgical.. like Ansu with pace and strength (minus the finishing touch).
He's lovely to watch. His runs are brilliant. Finishing is still off, but that will come. His physical developement will determine where he ends up on the spectrum from very good to worldclass to Balon d' Or winner.
Nico is an excellent counter piece to Lamine. Robust and fast... and also very economical in possession. Definitely the most exciting option on the market even if he's not worldclass.
I for one am positively surprised that Nico doesn't have that Dembele bozo gene. He's very disciplined.
That being said I wouldn't be devastated if we don't get him.
