A little more background on him


Most reports saying Aberdeen want to keep him this window. Not that I think he'd be brought in to be first team right now anyway.

But also from sky sports.

Sky Sports News understands Aberdeen will be looking for a club-record fee before they even consider selling their prized asset which would be in excess of the £3m received when Scott McKenna joined Nottingham Forest in September 2020

So if we did want him, a couple of million or bonuses to take it to that might be enough, so not a huge fee.

Watched a compilation of him and the highlights they picked up do show that his main strengths appear to be what we're lacking, i.e good at crossing and can take corners. Interestingly a lot of the clips had him cutting inside on his left foot and considering Conte has been dabbling in the arts of inverted wing backs recently, that's another attribute to take note of.

Still a completely different level and obviously just a youtube compilation so you can't gauge whether he would be able to step up but just some things I saw.

I've seen a lot of him. Technically very good but very slight. Couple of years minimum before he's anywhere near ready for the PL

I'm an Aberdeen fan too so can offer some insight here. Great young right back, very good technically, good dribbler and proficient with both feet - isn't rapid but no means slow, he also has a good delivery which we are massively lacking, he's still a bit raw as just turned 18 but I rate him more than Patterson who's just joined Everton for 12m, for 4-6m it would be a no brainer for me.

Thanks for your insight. Always good to have a knowledgeable view of a player.

Love seeing clips all from the same game. You get a good picture of what a player can do.



Overall, he looks comfortable on the ball, defends and reads play well, and can actually cross the ball. He also shows he can strike the ball with either foot, and can beat a man, though I haven't seen him slaloming past 3-4 players. If the price is ~4m, it seems a no-brainer.

The 2 best videos ive ever seen posted on a speculation player. Thank you.

He looks amazing. Loving the corners and rhe left foot shots. If this is what Hitchen is up to then it's time well spent.

Cheers for that. Has he played much? If we can agree a deal, do you reckon it would be best for him to stay at Aberdeen for the rest of this season and even next?

edit: after seeing those videos above he looks build up physically already. So maybe could move sooner.

Looks tidy - nice to see some decent qualities on display there. Tidy on the ball, happy to travel forward with it, can defend and amazingly can take a corner - sign him up!!!
