Must have just turned 17, 3 years is the standard at that age, I think it may even be the max at 17 they do change things. Essential they’ve all got two year contracts as Scholars, this gives him a pro contract with an additional year. I don’t think we gave out DoB info this year, I know Reece Welch is 17 later this month, Kouyate is the first so far of the new scholars to get a contract.
Hes the only forward in the new intake so likely to get a lot of game time , also featured in a U23s friendly and a few games at u18 last season. He looks big and strong , though not as big as Simms at the same age I’d say.
