He's training with #20 and is, according to Jeorge Bird, promoted to the first team. We can probably forget a winger/attacking midfielder coming in.

great prospect...exciting combo of skill set and physical tools...think a good showing this preseason might get him a good loan...hopefully ligue 1

When is he going to feature though he's behind Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla, Elneny, Ozil, Iwobi, Xhaka for the CM/AM spot?

He's best of going on loan.

I'd play him in the cap one cup and give him a few sub appearances in the league with a view of getting him a solid loan deal in Jan. He needs to be in the show window for a bit.

Promoted to the first team today

No more signings in whichever position he plays in then

means nothing...

Guy is exciting Diaby like.

Iwobi, Adelaide are really promising

First time I've been impressed with him for a long time

Apparently he got played in a Diaby-esque role today, any truth?

No idea, just got home myself and about to watch the game.

He reminds me of one of my favorite Arsenal players ever......Abou Diaby. He is just a very talented player. And just like Diaby is is not a midfielder, winger or forward. He is just a ball player. In modern football its hard to fit in players like this and he is lucky he has Wenger. Most managers, specially the British ones wouldnt care for a guy like this

Diaby is/was a midfielder

will be interesting to see where Jeff ends up though...he's more explosive speed wise than diaby so he could play wide but his best moments come central for me (same as iwobi)...think he's an attacking midfielder by nature but w the physical tools to play as a CM in a 4-3-3

All I know is you can see the class with every single touch he makes...

Really impressed with what I've seen so far. I wonder if Fortune, the guy we bought with Jeff, is just as talented. He is a year younger so he still has time
