If a 17.5-year-old male is 180 cm tall, he is likely close to his maximum height, but there is still a small chance he might grow a few more centimeters if his growth plates (epiphyseal cartilage) have not fully closed. This depends on several factors, but by age, the likelihood of significant growth is already low. To check if the growth plates are closed, medical methods, particularly an X-ray examination, can be used. Here's how it can be done:

  1. X-ray Examination: The most accurate way to determine if the epiphyseal plates are closed is to perform an X-ray, which will show if there are still gaps between the bones in the area of the growth plate. If these areas are still open, it means that growth is still possible. If the gaps are closed, it indicates that growth has ended.
    In the X-ray, you can see how the cartilage gradually turns into bone tissue. This will appear as the fusion of bones on the image.
    The growth plates close at different times in various areas of the body (e.g., hips, knees, or elbows). They usually begin to close around 16-17 years of age in males and are generally completely closed by the age of 20.

If still OPEN - sell.

If he grows a few centimetres more move him to the central role (will happen either way) he can play there with a little height, his immense creativity and playmaking ability shall enable him to do

Either way he's not getting sold and I wish some guys finally made peace with the fact. Yes you are going to suffer a new little dictator at this club, he will win you trophies, beautiful football and glory and only you will complain at the end... it's a sad story.
