Forget the fantastic winner yesterday (and other amazing goals), how good can he be and where will be his best position?
Personally I think he'd be better playing out wide when Salah leaves. He is clever, sees space and has fantastic movement. Remember he is only 20 too and looks like he has been playing first team for 10 years. Nothing seems to phase him either.
He still has a way to go, but he could easily be one of our best by the time he is done playing.
Would he be better on the right of Kane for England than the likes of Sterling, Mount (haha) and Rashford? Hell yeah he would! The only one that would get in over him for me is Saka, but only because he has 2 years on him and more competitive games. Skill set they are very much on a par, with Elliott a better passer and striker of the ball for me. Saka has more pace, but like Sterling, once that starts to go, he'll be less effective. Elliot with the clever way he plays doesn't need that.
Hell, even if he plays CM for England, the middle three of Bellingham, Rice and Elliott would be scary with Trent moving from RB when either Elliott or Bellingham are creating space for him to ping it to.
He's also not afraid to get stuck in and front up to anyone!
I think we really have a gem in our ranks and I'm very excited to see how he continues to develop.
For the Arsenal Fans
I absolutely love Saka and when he was apparently in two minds over staying a couple of years ago, I'd have been jumping up and down with excitement at the prospect or even signing him. Two years on, I'm not that bothered as Elliott has really grown and shown he is a real quality player.

He’s a decent player but let’s not go overboard because of a decent cameo appearance

He’s been average all year. There’s a reason he doesn’t start. He’s talented for sure but the last year or so he hasn’t stood out at all.

Good grief What’s up Fred, is his name not exotic enough for you?
He struggled last season but then did the whole team. The main reason he’s struggled imo is that we’ve struggled to find the right role for him. Looks like we have this season and he’s thriving. If you can’t see that then I don’t know what to say….

I felt even befire yesterday that he had played well recently when coming on as a sub and last European game when he started.

He just came back from a year long injury in January of last season.
