He can play up front. He won't and shouldn't be going anywhere now Lavery's injured. Hanson's leaving and there's talk Evans may be injured again too, so it's a non starter, certainly if we don't sign two strikers.
He's also the only natural winger we have in the squad. Lavery would've been a better candidate to go out on loan than him.
The lad has pace as well, plus he has one of the hardest shots I have seen in recent years
