“This is a tremendous deal,” he said club in a terrific league, and it is an extremely appealing challenge for me at this point in my career. I’m looking forward to meeting my new team members and working and learning under Graham Potter and his colleagues.”

“He’s a promising young talent with a bright future. He has a thrilling final third, is very fast and direct, attacks the backline, can go wide but also influences the goal. He’s a highly entertaining player, and I think our fans will like him,” the manager said. “We want to play better. We want more wins. You need a balanced squad. You need a squad that’s got the right amount of competition.
I think we’ve got to be not necessarily careful. “But I think you’ve just got to understand that we’ve got about 10 players unavailable. Obviously you can’t just sign players to replace those because in the end, you have a squad of 30. You have to do the right thing and the window is complicated in January.”
