You would if you knew your football. He’s been really highly rated since he broke into the youth team at Feyenoord.
Never heard of him tbh - but from the reaction of you guys who have, sounds like the creative player we've all been hoping for
According to some that doesn't mean anything.. But perfect set up. We get a look at him, unless it's a horrendous situation, we sign him in the summer. Great to hear he's desperate to be here, we want players like that at the club. Exciting and promising kid, and Arsenal have produced some absolute guns in recent years.
I've only watched the goals he's uploaded on his own instagram page, but he looks unreal. Quick, skilful and got a good shot on him
Looks a good player. Don’t think he’s ever scored against us. But he’s only 5’8 according to transfermarket.
Looks like he has good technical ability. He’s only played youth football though so we’ll see how he handles the physicality of men’s football in the Championship. Hopefully he can make the step up. On a slightly related note, I still don’t think Covil is ready for senior football. Every time he’s come on as a sub (which is every game this season so far, isn’t it?), he’s looked like a boy playing amongst men. Not doubting his talent but I don’t think it’s fair to chuck him in at the deep end like this. It’s not helping his development.
Agree on the Covil point. If he’s to progress in his ability he doesn’t want to be getting 15 minutes chasing shadows every week. Needs regular minutes playing with the ball at his feet.
