"I got a lot of stick for it because he's only played a handful of games.
"But I was basing it on ability and how good this kid is and what I've seen in the past.
"This is a guy who has made ten appearances, he's now scored two goals, he's got numerous assists.
"I've yet to see a winger go by him and that includes a £7million Ryan Kent.
"He's phenomenal and it's rare to find a player whose rose so quickly to success as he has."
