“Sunday was a difficult one for him – we didn’t have a lot of possession. Having more of the ball suits his style more and we can help him more in that way.

“But he is definitely one for the future – somebody who can really kick on if he wants to.

“It’s like any young player: it’s a long, hard road with some ups and downs. Hopefully, he can really come through for us, be a top player and go on to big things.”
