From researching some of the articles done about him before he was even on our radar, I'm left with the impression that his intelligence and grasp of reality is in line with the degree of his talent.
The support network he has which is primarily governed by a family unit putting HIS best interest and well being at the forefront of all considerations (Nicholas Anelka could have been comparable to Christiano Ronaldo with the same set up), suggests that they are properly clued up with regards to the pitfalls and mirages that exist within the game alongside the treasure troves of riches and adulation.
Like a movie hitman, it wouldn't surprise me if as a 15 year old he had dossiers on the likes of Ronaldo, Messi, Henry, Zidane and Christiano Ronaldo with regards to how to do things right and be remembered for, whilst Robinho, Adriano, Denilson (either one will do) and Wellington Silva would probably feature highly on his what not to do list.
My own inclination would be to rebuild a more youthful and collectively talented team with him as the spearhead, and as such the prospect of a front three of Pepe, him and Saka would be a good start.
