Based on the Brighton Fans Forum, he is something of a wunderkind and so could be a good signing if he chooses us.

Well without knowing his circumstances - SURELY we're the better bet, geographically if nothing else?

Not that the proximity was sufficient for dear old Budgie Byrne, but still it's got to be two hours closer to his home.

No mention of his position though, and where he'd fit in our set-up.

Fingers crossed for a midfielder, I suppose?!

I'd be pretty confident we'll finish the league higher than Burton.

But, if I was a young lad wanting first team action, I'm not sure I'd be confident of getting much of a crack of the whip from Lord W.

He's a left sided attacking midfielder that gets into the box - By all accounts he is highly regarded at Brighton

It's now official. He's joined
