Since when did you need good technique to play for England!!!

That’s a huge ask. There’s a world of difference between the Championship and the Premiership. He’s very raw, he’s very good physically but he has a long way to go technically before he gets anywhere near the England squad.

If he keeps up his form of the last few weeks at Premier League level I don’t see how he could be overlooked.

Have to agree with arse – too soon to talk about international caps, although he’s obviously talented.

He’s nowhere near ready for England. Good business from Arsenal’s point of view. It’s suggested the deal is Â£2m plus a potential further Â£2m depending on all those things they talk about.
For a kid that was getting nowhere near the Arsenal first team for at least a season or two that’s not bad.
