In an interview with the Athletic he described himself as naturally left footed but played a lot as right sided centre back with PSV last season which clearly developed his play with the right foot. Turned out to be a great loan move all round that.
That “ right footed” bit came from his former coach at Carlisle who insisted he was right footed. Well maybe he was at 16 , I don’t know , but I watched him a few times at PSV last season and one memory stands out. He took a free kick just inside his own half , on the left side and had the option of hitting it with his right or left foot . He struck the ball up into the opposing box with his left foot. Whatever he was , the evidence I have seen in his play is that he prefers his left foot ….cue a stunning right foot volley on SaturdayWell spotted. Its been all over that hes right footed but so strong on his left hes able to use both.
Learned something new today
Think.itll be more than that if one of the bigger clubs come in for him tbh
I would extend him without a second thought. I doubt his agent will.Linked with both United and City today while it again is being mentioned that were in talks over a new deal.
Just confirms on the club site the deal is 2025 with an option for one more year so 2026.
Would be ideal if we could get him to extend long term but not likely unless we get up to mid table.
