Great move for the young fella, he's replacing the guy who just moved to RB Leipzig.

Great move for the young fella, he's replacing the guy who just moved to RB Leipzig.
It's nice to see these young lads getting experiences on a broader and different football platform , the Championship can be a very demanding arena for young talent .
It's a permanent move. He is highly rated at Arsenal and captain of their U23s. It seems to be a trend with young players, and he is following in the footsteps of Matt Smith, Ampadu & Matondo who were all in the same Welsh team as him.Quote:

How much can a club like Dinamo Zagreb be paying him. And what is the overall standard of the Croatian legaue? How does it stand up to the Championship?
I've no idea about that, but he probably just wants to kick-start his career after seeing many of his contemporaries already being capped at senior international level. I think the penny is finally starting to drop that it is a waste of time hanging around at these big clubs waiting for a chance that may never come. Brooks is another example of a player who found his own route to success, after the was released by Manchester City for being too small.Quote:

Slightly weaker than the championship on average, but better than the SPL. With Zagreb by far the biggest side.Quote:

Presumably it would offer the possibility of European football, so it would get him in the shop window for a bigger move, so there is a certain rationale to this.
They were in Manchester City's UCL group last year.Quote:

Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic both started off there, so they must be doing something right. Playing for Wales is also a good career move, as our talented youngters we be putting themselves in the shop window in a few months time.
