To me, at this kind of level, he can't be a winger. He's a poacher striker or second striker at best.
But... he does sort of have something, too. He had 11 touches in very short time, and his movement to me looked well-thought out, like he was looking to be dangerous or find a dangerous spot.
I sort of wonder if he's one of those natural scorers who's not very good at anything else, and if he shouldn't get a shot up top. Surely he can press and knock in rebounds, which is about all the use and service our number 9 currently gets.
