Unbelievable talent. I follow Scouted football who have been raving about him this season. Left footed forward who can play through the middle as a striker or in a front 3 wide right. 

Like minds!

Probably most notable part is the following:

 

Within this structure, Cho has certainly been pulling his weight – he ranks in the 82nd percentile for tackles, 94th percentile for pressures and 87th percentile for interceptions. It is also interesting to dig a little deeper into these numbers – he is in the 91st percentile for tackles in the middle third of the pitch, and similarly in the 92nd percentile for pressures in the same area. 

This is a reflection of Angers’ approach off the ball, where they are not necessarily pressing high up the pitch; rather, they are allowing opponents to move forward with the ball before pressing heavily in the middle third and attacking quickly. 

 

In summary you've got a young but highly technical, fast, skilful player who is tall, can use either foot and can dribble with the ball, who is used to playing a high pressing system.

 

Whether or not we'd sign him remains to be seen, but sounds like exactly the sort of player we'd be after.

I wonder if we actually made an offer in the summer and, if so, how much.

Not sure we can sign him before he's 18, although someone made reference to him growing up in the UK so maybe we could.

Theres nothing in the video that made me think he's one we desperately should be after. No better on youtube than someone like Diabate.. It will be interesting to see how he develops. 

 

Amine Adil at 21 was the one we needed, albeit out of our control. Or even Olise at Palace.  There were some cracking deals to be had this summer

I wonder what else 'arouses interest' of the club

 

Last time there was an arousing interest involving anyone signed for the reserves, three players and the manager got sacked.

Adli we couldn't get a work permit for, we were in for him until they failed to get promoted.

Does he float like a butterfly and sting like a bee?

I really like Olise. He’d have been a real good fit for us too, can play and both wings and in the number ten. Shame as I think that he’ll turn out to be a bargain for Palace. Did read somewhere that he has a few attitude issues so that may have been a reason for us not going in for him tbf.
